Volunteer
VOLUNTEER
KCFF depends heavily on its volunteers who, every year, help make the festival successful. The festival relies on volunteer support for:
- Hospitality - assist our visiting industry guests
- Receptions - ticket taking, food service and general help
- Events - ticket taking, ushers, marketing studies
As the volunteers are so vital to the festival we are dedicated to providing a great experience. Volunteers of the festival enjoy:
- Invitations to the parties, including the private reception with festival guests
- Access to the films
- Free festival t-shirt
- Discounted festival passes
Our diverse group of volunteers attends bi-weekly meetings to keep up to date on the festival's events. Meetings are usually followed by informal social time so that volunteers are able to get to know each other before the weekend of the festival.
- Next Meeting: Monday March 1, 7pm - The Mansion, 506 Princess Street
INTERNSHIPS
The KCFF internship program offers the opportunity to meet people in the film industry, learn about festival administration, and gain valuable work experience. Each year we have 3 - 4 intern positions which begin in November and last through March.
Because KCFF is a small organization, our interns are key members of our staff. Each will have the opportunity to manage their own projects, interact with industry professionals and manage their time to complete assignments on deadline. The internship is fast-paced and challenging, but also great fun.
These internships are unpaid and require students to remain in Kingston for Reading Week.
Film and Media students at Queen’s University can apply for a third-year film credit for their work for the festival.
KCFF interns have gone on to land great positions in the film industry, with companies like the Toronto International Film Festival, the Canadian Film Centre, Movieola and many others.
The call for interns is usually posted in October.
Congratulations and welcome aboard to our 2010 interns:
Ashlee Ferguson, Daniel Fiedler and Pamela Stamoulis.
