SENE Film, Music & Arts

For 15 years, Southeast New England (SENE) Film, Music and Arts hosted one of the premier festivals in New England dedicated to giving life to independent cinema, music & art.

For four years in a row, the SENE Festival was named one of the Top 50 Film Festivals Worth the Entry Fee by MovieMaker Magazine, one of the most respected voices in the film industry. In 2022, SENE was also selected as one of 20 Great Film Festivals for First-Time Moviemakers by Moviemaker Magazine.

In 2023, SENE is focusing on smaller film, music and art events.
