The benefits of being a volunteer
- You’ll be part of a really friendly and fun group of volunteers;
- You’ll receive your own crew T-shirt;
- Depending on your shift times, you’ll be offered lunch or dinner;
- Outside your shifts – provided you work three or more shifts of at least five hours each – you’ll have unlimited free access to the films being screened during the festival (provided there’s still space in the cinema!).
