During these uncertain times, how can we help?

Greetings! As we very slowly emerge from pandemic status, the DC Independent Film Festival (DCIFF) is tentatively going to a version in which online and in-person activities link together. We need your help! DCFF has been in existence for 21 years and we are run by a team of volunteers and so you join a group of people working, like you, to just make things work the best they can. This means that we are keen to have people who might stay on for a second year, who like to be creative and offer ideas and who understand that taking initiative is what keeps the arts going.
FOR TEENS: We would like volunteer coordinators for the eight annual DCIFF High School Film Competition March 13-14, online only. Program development, online administration, social media and marketing.
We have the following work available for adults starting from February 20th with a commitment through to April 8th please. This work is virtual although at the end it could be in-person if you live locally. We would talk to you by phone to set you up for this. In exchange you are listed on our website for your work, can attend all and any activities at the festival itself for free and could become actual staff next year.
Outreach and event development around specific documentary films
Editing of video trailers and announces
