The day-to-day running of the San Francisco Green Film Festival is made possible with the dedication and energy of over 200 green-minded volunteers who help plan and produce our year-round events and the annual festival, scheduled for March 1-7, 2012 at the San Francisco Film Society Cinema in Japantown.

We’re seeking volunteers or interns in the following areas who can help us gear up for the second year of the festival. This is an exciting time to come on board!

CURRENT NEEDS

PRINT TRAFFIC/SCREENINGS ASSISTANT(S)

We need people with film/tech know how to help us check film materials and bring our festival films to the big screen. You’ll be working closely with the festival’s filmmakers and venue projectionist in the weeks running up to the festival to check the presentation formats of the films on the big screen and compile the tech sheets for each program. Our program includes approx. 18 feature films and 20 short films. Most materials are received on HDCAM, Digibeta, Blu-Ray, and DVD. You’ll follow up with filmmakers to troubleshoot any technical issues before the festival and make sure that everything is perfect and ready to go when we open on March 1.

FESTIVAL VOLUNTEERS

Festival volunteers donate their time to help us run our busy schedule of screenings and events during the annual festival in March. Volunteers help with will-call, ticket taking, ushering, event set-up/break-down, driving guests, and myriad other tasks!

All volunteer positions are unpaid, but have other benefits:
