Deadline: 28 February 2013
Open to: Interested people from all over the world
Benefits: Free access to all parts of ETNOFILm Festival. Accommodation and meals covered during the festival
Description
The Ethnographic Museum of Istria is pleased to invite all young students of anthropology, ethnology, sociology, media and other social and humanities sciences to join in making the 5th International Ethnographic film festival –ETNOFILm in Rovinj, Croatia (24.-27.4.2013). ETNOFILm Festival is a platform for the promotion of ethnographic film and the system of categorization of the films in the competition is indicative of Festival’s diversity. On one hand, a production of ethnographic film is encouraged in the strictest disciplinary sense of the word – meaning films whose authors are trained ethnologists/anthropologists – and on the other hand, the Festival also affirms non-disciplinary films and a heterogenic approach to the filed.
Responsibilities of volunteers
Organizers are looking for a small but motivated group of both local and international volunteers to help out during the festival by:
- Promoting the festival in Rovinj during the festival (handing out flyers and working at the information and sales point (selling promotional material from the festival – bags, T-shirts, postcards, badges)
- Assisting with the hospitality of our guests (jury members and participating authors)
- Working at the entrance of the screenings (greeting the audience, making sure the doors are open and closed on time, assisting the technical and organization teams)
- Assisting with the accompanying Photo Exhibition
- Generally helping out with the day to day logistics of the festival
- Having fun and enjoying some great documentaries
