Volunteers Wanted for Strasbourg International Film Festival

[strasbourgfilmfest]

Looking for something to do during your stay in Strasbourg? Wanna get

involed? We are looking for an international crew for our largely anglophone festival. Check out or volunteer at the Strasbourg International Film

Festival!

The Strasbourg International Film Festival is a 10 day fest from August

28th to September 6th focusing on the works of new and emerging

directors. Creatives. Non-conformists. Original and independent voices

from all genres, notably experimentals and avant-garde pieces as well

as more traditional themes like dramas, thrillers, romantic comedies,

innovative documentaries and unique animated works.

The festival's goal is to create an ideal location for the audience and filmmakers, without omitting the industry.

Several directors will be presenting their films at this years

festival. Such screenings will be followed up by Q&As. Other

directors will be participarting in innovative panels and workshops, as

well as out-of-competition projections. Remember to keep in mind our

filmmaker brunches where director and audience alike can benefit not

only from great French food and culture in one of France's most

beautiful destinations but also enjoy benefiting from meeting other

film-goers and filmmakers and keeping up-to-date on what is going on in

today's independent film circuit.

The festival also encourages networking between filmmakers for the

overall goal of international film making and open eyes to the new

possibilities modern-day technology has created for the film industry

and the independent filmmaker.

Projections are held either for free or at very reasonable prices in

order to permit more people to see the work, from students, to artists,

to businessmen, thus engaging the community and creating a very laid

back, creative and open-minded atmosphere.

The Strasbourg International Film Festival plans to show over 150 films

this year, from features to shorts, from documentaries to animation.

Films will be show in Strasbourg, France at two locations and at two

locations in Kehl, Germany, making this international film festival,

quite literally, international.

Join us!!! From the 28th of August to the 6th of September 2009. Ten

opportunity-filled days to support independent, emerging and out there

film making! 10 days of new experiences because, lets not forget, a

festival is also there to learn from and share with others, a chance

explore your passion!
