Call for AIFF Volunteer Pre-Screeners
The Atlantic International Film Festival is seeking candidates for festival Pre-
Screeners for the 44th edition of our festival this fall; September 11-18, 2024. Whether
you have a background in film history, filmmaking, or are a cinephile, we’re looking
for a diverse group of people who want to spend some free time watching and
reviewing unique and thought-provoking festival submissions from voices around
the world.
What is a Pre-Screener?
A Pre-Screener supports the artistic initiatives of the programming department by
reviewing short or feature-length films submitted to AIFF. The Pre-Screener will
watch assigned films at home and then rate them from 1-10, along with leaving a few
comments that provide context for the rating. The overall goal of a pre-screener is
to identify films of interest to the Atlantic International Film Festival Programming
team for further consideration as selections for AIFF.
What are we asking from our Pre-Screeners?
A commitment to screen up to 25 short films, or 5 narrative feature or documentary films per week (approximately 10 hours/week) between May 6 - June 28.
A strong & reliable internet connection
A passion for film
Familiarity with AIFF’s previous programming will be considered an asset, not a necessity
What do you get in return?
You will receive a complimentary pass to AIFF 2024, which gives access to the film
selection, as well as an honorarium of $200 CAD. You will gain resume building
experience in film screening that can be used in the future to apply for other
programming positions. In addition, you will be one of the first to view some of the
films that will premiere at our festival before they have been released to the public!
