If you are interested in becoming a part of the
SYRFILMFEST'12 team, please email info@syrfilm.com for
more information.
SYRFILMFEST'12 is seeking dedicated and enthusiastic
volunteers who want to contribute to the continued success of
one of the leading International Film Festivals in the country.
By becoming part of the festival team, you will network with
other people, see films, and play a valuable role in the festival
organization.
From theater entrances to hospitality centers to special events,
volunteers are everywhere at the Festival. Over 200 volunteers
dedicate their time to help make the Festival a thriving
environment for international film.
As a charitable, not-for-profit cultural organization,
SYRFILMFEST 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 the Festival without their dedication and
support. If you want to join a devoted group of fun-loving film
enthusiasts, please consider joining the SYRFILMFEST team.
So what's it like?
SYRFILMFEST'12 Volunteers are the ambassadors of our
organization. Your friendly service, patience and smiles will
make the festival experience a warm, pleasant and memorable
one for all of our guests. SYRFILMFEST uses volunteers in
almost every area of the festival from greeting filmmakers at the
airport to data entry. We welcome your help in all areas, but
our biggest need is at the venues. Volunteers at the venues do
everything from printing tickets, managing crowds, selling
merchandise and providing information. You are the face of the
Festival.
What you can expect as a volunteer:
You will have a rewarding experience while being treated with
courtesy and respect. Although you will work hard, you can
expect to have fun. Volunteer shifts run approximately 6 hours.
You'll get a behind-the-scenes look at how a festival is run.
You'll work with a team of professionals that enjoys movies just
as much as you do. You'll make new friends and contacts.
You'll have the opportunity to view films from around the world.
What we expect from volunteers:
We expect you to arrive for your scheduled shift on time,
dressed appropriately, and ready to work. We expect you to
abide by our rules of conduct both on- and off-duty.
Remember, you officially represent the Festival. We expect you
to become familiar with the information in the Festival Film
Guide. We expect you to treat everyone with respect,
friendliness and a smile can often make someone's day. If you
are unable to make a shift or are running late to a shift, we
expect you to contact the Volunteer Coordinator immediately so
we may ensure the Festival runs smoothly. We expect you to
work to your fullest capacity, but allow yourself time to enjoy
the Festival.
FILM FESTIVAL VOLUNTEER ORIENTATIONS:
SYRFILMFEST'12 will host 2 volunteer orientation meetings in
August/September 2012, once we have had an opportunity to
review all volunteer applications.
If you are interested in becoming a part of the
SYRFILMFEST'12 team, please email info@syrfilm.com for
more information.
Thank you in advance for your invaluable contribution of time,
talent and energy.
