Volunteer opportunities

Volunteers are an important part of our festivals, supporting us to deliver great experiences to our audiences while gaining an insight into delivering a film festival and the skills associated with this. If you have a keen interest in film and can freely give your time to support us in delivering brilliant festivals, we’d love to hear from you.

Expenses for travel (public transport within London Zones 1 to 6) will be reimbursed, and we will provide you with food and refreshments. Volunteers will also get to experience the buzz of the festival and the films and events we put on as part of this.

Our volunteering opportunities are open to everyone. We don’t need you to have prior experience of film or events management, so if you don’t think our volunteering opportunities are for you, please think again. We want to hear from you and why you’d like to get involved.

All volunteers must be 18 years old or above for health and safety reasons.

If you would like to volunteer at our festivals please register your interest via the link below and we will be in touch with application information. 

Applications for festivals usually go live two months before each festival starts.

If you have any questions or you need any assistance during the application process, please send us an email at: volunteers@bfi.org.uk.
