Festival Volunteers

Cambridge Film Festival

Cambridge

Salary: Unpaid

Cambridge Film Festival is looking to recruit enthusiastic volunteers to join the festival team.

Every year at the Cambridge Film Festival we recruit a team of enthusiastic volunteers to help with every aspect of the Festival.  It’s no exaggeration to say that without these volunteers and interns delivering the UK’s 3rd longest running film festival would be impossible.

  • Festival dates: 18-25 November 2021
  • Brochure Drop & Festival Meet and Greet: Late October/Early November TBC
Who is eligible to volunteer?

Volunteers must be aged 16 or older.

You also need to be local to Cambridge. Unfortunately, we cannot provide accommodation and cannot usually provide travel arrangements.

Some training and getting to know you sessions will be provided before the Festival, so it is useful if you can be available for those as well. They are great for getting a better understanding of what is involved with the busy Festival and also meeting the other people you will be volunteering with.

The attributes we seek in applicants because we consider them vital to a good volunteer are:

  • a friendly, smiley manner
  • common sense
  • good initiative
  • a strong interest in film
  • an interest in and awareness of the Cambridge Film Trust’s activities including the Festival

We welcome volunteers from a variety of backgrounds, a range of ages and ethnicities, and do not discriminate.

Duties

Volunteer duties include ushering at screenings, assisting with marketing activities, assisting the hospitality team, as well as runner tasks including general office and front-of-house duties to keep the Festival running smoothly.

To apply
