Have an interest in film and labour activism? Consider joining the Canadian Labour International Film Festival (CLIFF) board of directors!
CLIFF is a national grassroots, activist-oriented film festival which showcases international and Canadian films focusing on work, workers, and the labour movement. We are seeking committed and enthusiastic volunteers as we enter into our 16th year of the festival. This is a great opportunity for those looking to share or develop their skills and see how a film festival is organized.
Meetings are held virtually and volunteers can be based anywhere in Canada. Board member positions are volunteer, unpaid positions. We are seeking volunteers with a variety of interests and skill sets, including: graphic design skills, familiarity with social media use and planning, knowledge of wordpress websites, and experience with film making.
We are looking for volunteers who can commit approximately 5-10 hours per month for a minimum of one-year. Often less in our off months, but possibly more during the lead up to our November festival (September to December). The time commitment for all board members includes attending monthly virtual meetings, as well as reviewing and selecting films for the festival. Other board member work includes fundraising, coordinating and/or planning film screenings, social media work, website updates, drafting and sending mass email communications, creation of festival promotional materials, etc. As a board member, you may also have opportunities to represent CLIFF at community, film festival, or labour events.
If you are interested, please email us at info@labourfilms.ca and include “Board of Directors” in the subject line. Please provide us with a letter as to why you are interested in joining CLIFF and some of the skills you would like to develop or share, as well as a copy of your CV/resume. The deadline for applications is Sat, 1 June 2024.
