Board Members

Salary: Voluntary

Hebden Bridge Film Festival is seeking new members for their Board, who will deliver the ethos of the festival, contribute to making major decisions, and help bring this world-class film festival to life.

Hebden Bridge Film Festival  is a 3 day event which brings film-makers and audiences together to experience a diverse range of high quality films and related events and prides itself on being friendly and inclusive. We prioritise giving voice to under-represented groups, and our themes to date have been “the other” , “hope and resistance” “imagine together”.

We are excited to be recruiting new Board members for our next festival, taking place on 20-22 March 2026. The Hebden Bridge Film Festival relies on volunteer effort, and the Board delivers and supports the core work of putting the festival on. Together with the festival director, it also sets the strategic direction for the festival.

We welcome applications from anyone who believes they could make a strong contribution. While some meetings take place online, much of the work is in person so we need people who live locally and can get to Hebden Bridge easily.

We are particularly seeking a Volunteer Coordinator, someone to take a major responsibility for Communications, a Guest Liaison Coordinator and a Secretary. The organisation of the Film Festival relies extensively on shared digital communications and online organisation, so all board members need to be comfortable with technology.
