Volunteering @ MIFF


Love film? Then you love the Melbourne International Film Festival. Offering a bevy of unique and exciting cinema, it's a must for film fans.

The event can be a bit taxing if you're a little light in the pocket however.

Solution: Volunteer! This goes for all festivals: the Fringe, Writers', Food and Wine, and many music festivals are often looking for volunteers a couple of months out from the event (or longer for popular music festivals - it's a good idea to check before tickets go on sale). They usually require you to cover at least three to five shifts, and more if you

Added to the obvious feel-good factor, festivals often allow you to attend a number of events for free, and often throw wicked after-parties to thank the staff. You may even snag a shirt and other merch for helping out. Volunteer at enough festivals, you have a nice little addition to your resume.

Volunteer for MIFF here.
