As a cultural organization, NIFF will not be able to successfully run such a diverse range of initiative without the commitment of our volunteers. We are grateful for the ongoing contribution made by our many volunteers and interns.

Interns are required to meet every week to participate in scheduling and work closely with the festival programming team to gain experience in managing the festival. 

Volunteers can be weekly participant from the time the festival is launched (as an intern) or can donate their time to different departments when the festival takes place. Volunteers receive complimentary passes to the festival films and events in exchange of their time.

Volunteers are needed in the following departments :

Foreign Language Speaker : If you speak a foreign language fluently, especially French and Arabic, you may apply to become an nterpreter for Q and A with the cast and crew.

Festival Liaison : You must have People skill, and be able to communicate with filmmakers and producers on an as-needed basis. You will be the bridge between the festival and filmmaker. You will be meticulous and have the ability to work successfully under deadline pressures.

Hosts : You will be the face of the festival. You must be a good speaker, and a good listener with a focus to ensure the event is conducted as smoothly as possible.
