AVAILABLE POSITION: Cinema Green and the Miami & the Beaches Environmental Film Festival Volunteer

Cinema Green is a partnership project with the Miami Beach Cinematheque and consists on monthly screenings of environmental documentaries of local and global concern at the new Cinematheque Theater, Miami Beach.

The Festival is an annual event and it usually takes place in October.

Commitment: minimum of 10 hours/week

Project Length: on going, however a minimum commitment of 6 months is requested.
