As an intern, you will play a key role in supporting all aspects of festival planning and operations, ensuring that all GIFF programs and events run smoothly. This hybrid position offers a mix of remote work and in-person collaboration, culminating in an exciting full-time experience during the festival week! The Film Festival Program Intern will start with 15-20 hours per week, increasing to 40 hours in the week of the festival. The anticipated start date is the end of June 2025, with required in-person participation during the film festival, which takes place the last weekend of September 2025.
The intern must demonstrate strong organizational skills and attention to detail. A solid working knowledge of Excel and Google Sheets is essential, as a core responsibility includes entering, organizing, and analyzing large volumes of data to track trends and project metrics. The ability to translate data into insights is a valuable skill for this role. Applicants should also have clear written and verbal communication skills, the ability to conduct efficient online research, and comfort collaborating within a small, dynamic team. Familiarity with Canva and social media platforms (such as Instagram and Facebook) is preferred but not required. This position requires both creativity and logic. Ideal candidates will be able to toggle between detail-driven analysis and imaginative thinking to support events, marketing, and engagement strategies.
