Organizational Description: If you want to join a devoted team of vibrant, fun-loving film enthusiasts, please consider joining the GFF team as we set out to transform the way people see the world through film!
As a charitable, not-for-profit, cultural organization, GFF has always depended on the generosity of our diverse team of volunteers. We are grateful for the considerable contributions made by our volunteers every year and know that we could not launch this Festival without their dedication and support.
Volunteers donate their valuable time to help make the Gimli Film Festival a thriving environment for independent filmmakers to share their stories. Together we're creating a place and a platform for independent film to reach beyond the shores of Lake Winnipeg.
Skills Required: GFF provides training to all volunteers for all areas of the Festival.
There are numerous areas to volunteer at the Festival and we encourage all people of all abilities to apply.
For a minimum of 12 hours of volunteer work, volunteers are provided with the following: - One GFF Volunteer Film Pass (Volunteers are asked to please prioritize paying customers over their own entry to films) - Volunteer T-shirt (provided by Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries) Invitation to GFF's Opening Reception (July 24) and Awards Reception (July 27) GFF Volunteer Room: coffee service, snacks and food during the Festival An invitation to the volunteer windup The Festival runs July 24 - 28 in Gimli, Manitoba. Volunteer shifts start in June 2019 when our GFF Box Office opens and continue throughout July for pre-event set-up, promotions, transportation of supplies, equipment and guests. We also need volunteers after the Festival for tear-down.
We can provide reference letters or recognition upon request.
