We have a really great bunch of volunteers; if you love film and want to join us, please get in touch. We are especially looking for anyone who might be good on the technical side of screening films, we also need social media enthusiasts who can help promote the festival, as well as anyone interested in film who can help setting up events (lots of lifting and carrying) and working at front of house (looking after and making events enjoyable for filmgoers).
