By becoming part of the festival team, you will network with other people, see films, and play a valuable role in the festival organization.
From theater entrances to hospitality centers to special events, volunteers are everywhere at the Festival. Over 200 volunteers dedicate their time to help make the Festival a thriving environment for international film.
As a charitable, not-for-profit cultural organization, SYRFILMFEST has always depended on the generosity of our diverse team of volunteers. We are grateful for the considerable contributions made by our volunteers every year and know that we could not launch the Festival without their dedication and support.

Your friendly service, patience and smiles will make the festival experience a warm, pleasant and memorable one for all of our guests. SYRFILMFEST uses volunteers in almost every area of the festival from greeting filmmakers at the airport to data entry. We welcome your help in all areas, but our biggest need is at the venues. Volunteers at the venues do everything from printing tickets, managing crowds, selling merchandise and providing information. You are the face of the Festival.

Volunteer shifts run approximately 6 hours.You'll get a behind-the-scenes look at how a festival is run. You'll work with a team of professionals that enjoys movies just as much as you do. You'll make new friends and contacts. You'll have the opportunity to view films from around the world.
What we expect from volunteers:
We expect you to arrive for your scheduled shift on time, dressed appropriately, and ready to work. We expect you to abide by our rules of conduct both on- and off-duty. Remember, you officially represent the Festival. We expect you to become familiar with the information in the Festival Film Guide. We expect you to treat everyone with friendliness and a smile can often make someone's day. If you are unable to make a shift or are running late to a shift, we expect you to contact the Volunteer Coordinator immediately so we may ensure the Festival runs smoothly. We expect you to work to your fullest capacity, but allow yourself time to enjoy the Festival.
