Are you passionate about film or animation? Would you like to know more about the industry and get exclusive access to a variety of independent films from all over the world? Volunteer with WoFF!
World of Film International Festival is looking for the following volunteers to add to the team (see descriptions below):
- Guests Assistants
- Graphic Designer
- Events Assistants
Guests Assistants
Guest Assistants will be the first point of contact with our international filmmakers, and they will ensure they have a pleasant and comfortable stay in Glasgow. After welcoming them, volunteers will assist guests with transport arrangements for festival events, and coordinate itineraries around the city. This role would be ideal for people who are confident in their knowledge of the area and/or speak multiple languages.
Graphic Designer
Starting from mid-September, our Graphic Designer will create visual concepts to best communicate WoFF’s aims and deliver creative ideas for the festival’s image. Leading up to events, they will create and adapt graphics and visual content, and will provide quick support to the Festival Team and Social Media Coordinator for tasks as required.
Events Assistants
The Events Team will be the core of our festival: with a positive and friendly attitude, our Events Assistants will welcome audiences and guests, direct them to the screenings and provide information about the festival. Depending on the event, responsibilities might include setting up venues, keeping track of attendance, coordinating the box office, distributing feedback forms, serving drinks, and promoting events online and offline.
All volunteers should be available for a minimum of 2 shifts during the festival (unless otherwise specified). The festival will take place from Thursday 3rd to Sunday 6th of October @ Film City Glasgow. Local travel expenses will be reimbursed.
Please send your CV (or relevant portfolio) along with one or two paragraphs stating why you would like to volunteer with WoFF to claudia@woffglasgow.com
Interviews will take place during the first week of September, and will be followed by a Volunteer meeting.
