The Merrimack Valley Christian Film Festival was a Christian film festival in Lawrence, Massachusetts. The festival typically drew 12,000 to 15,000 people[1] and was held during Holy Week. Festival organizer Tom Saab said the festival was among the more popular ones in the country.[2] Saab began the festival in 1993 at the now closed Salem Tri Cinemas. Up through 2015, the festival had been held at the Showcase Cinemas in South Lawrence.[3] However, the Showcase Cinemas in South Lawrence closed in January of 2016,[4] which caused the Merrimack Valley Christian Film Festival to expand its scope beyond the Merrimack Valley.
