Turku Animated Film Festival is looking for enthusiastic volunteers to join us at the 9th edition of the festival at Manillan Kulttuuritehdas & Taiteen talo, taking place from 21st to 25th of August 2024!
As a TAFF volunteer, you’ll be part of an amazing community in a great atmosphere, and you have the opportunity to see many animated films! Our aim is to create a relaxed, cosy, and safe event for everyone, both our beloved visitors and our incredible volunteers.
What you will get:
- a festival pass that will give you free access to the screenings when you’re off-duty, if not sold out.
- We offer one (1) vegan meal per workday and insurance for the duration of the shift for each volunteer.
- At the end of the festival we celebrate the success and hard work with an afterparty and our volunteers are more than welcome to join!
- Plus, if you want, we’ll be happy to provide you with a reference letter!
What we ask from you:
- We wish for you to commit to a minimum of 3 shifts, together approximately 15 hours of your time, but we are open to work around your schedule!
- A hands-on attitude to make the festival happen together!
You don’t need any specific qualifications or previous experience – we’ll give you all the guidance you need. There are different tasks we need help with and you may help with one or more roles during the festival. Check out the roles available below!
Don’t forget to mention in the application if you’d like to be paired up with a friend and double the fun!
