Volunteer Film Submission Reviewer

Salary: Unpaid

Norwich Film Festival is looking for film submission viewers to join its online selection committee

Norwich Film Festival is looking for film lovers from all backgrounds and experience levels to assist with the process of watching short film submissions.

We aim for each film submitted to the festival to be viewed by at least three people in order to give us a good idea of whether we should select it or not. We’ll usually start you off with around 10-25 films of varying lengths between 1-25 minutes. All you need to do is watch them within two to three weeks and give us a brief summary of your thoughts. Of course, you’re more than welcome to watch as many films as you’d like – as soon as you finish a batch, we’ll then look to give you another batch within a few days.

All submissions will be sent to you online via the FilmFreeway platform, where you will use an account to watch, rate and comment on submissions. Our festival team will then take your ratings and comments into consideration when narrowing submissions down to the final selection.

Please note that you must be over 18 to participate. This is due to the unpredictable nature of the content we receive – due to the sheer number of submissions we get each year, we are unable to check the content of each film in its entirety before allocating it to members of the committee.

This is a voluntary position and as such, there is no financial payment offered.
