This year's festival runs from June 14-24. We need people who are available before and during the festival. There are tons of different volunteer opportunities. Volunteers who usher for a film usually stay and watch it, and volunteers who do other work receive vouchers which can be redeemed for film tickets.
Volunteers are a necessary part of what makes the festival possible.
Besides, it's fun and you get to see films for free. It is important to note that this year the meetings will be held at a different location. You only need to come to one of the meetings, but keep in mind that by the second meeting many of the ushering positions will be filled. As there is a lot of preperation leading up to the Festival, we have a need for volunteers to help out in the office as early as April. Applicants for paid and volunteer positions, and employees seeking advancement, are considered on the basis of their qualifications, and without regard to race, religion, age, gender, color, disability, sexual orientation, veteran status, or national or ethnic origin.
