It has taken a lot of work, but we are ready to launch the ground-breaking Ottawa International Film Festival.  In the past six months we have gone from a staff of two, to a staff of eight and a complete Board of Directors.  The entire Ottawa community has come together to support a film event that fills a void in our nation’s capital.

The work is not done yet. We need your help.  If you are an energetic, professional and film enthusiast then please think about volunteering with the Ottawa International Film Festival.

As a volunteer with the Ottawa International Film Festival (OIFF), you will attend an OIFF staff meeting and attend a quick mandatory training session specific to your position.

OIFF is currently accepting volunteers.

Please send your resume to volunteer@oiff.ca

Benefits:
• Volunteer Pass which allows access to films (if not sold out).
• Integration with the Film Community in Ottawa.
• Notices and invites to film events throughout the year.
