Hey everyone,

The Calgary International Film Festival is gearing up and will run this year from Sept 19th - 28th.

We are still in need of some more volunteers to help out at the theatres. The work is very easy and actually a lot of fun. This is great way to meet new people and to do something a little different.

Volunteers are only asked to commit to a couple shifts and there are times available during the day, evenings, and during the weekends. You sign up for whatever times work best for you. Most of the time you'll just end up watching the movies! ;)

There are a lot of awesome perks available if you decide to help volunteer with the festival as well! From free food and beer at volunteer parties, to free comp movie passes for your friends! Volunteers will also receive a pass to ALL films at ALL theatres for the duration of the festival!

The beyonders that I've met in the past have been a great group of people, so hopefully some of you guys can come out to help. If you'd like to help me out specifically (please!), shoot me a pm or post up and I'll get in touch with you with details. Would be a lot of fun to have a bunch of beyond members all at my location and I'll do my best to hook everyone up.

Anyway, if anyone's interested, post or shoot me a pm.

Info about the festival can be found at www.calgaryfilm.com and links to volunteer information and sign up can be found on that page as well.

PM me or post if you'd like to help out at my venue specifically and maybe we can organize some shifts with beyond members. Feel free to sign up with your friends as well.

Thanks! :)

I've been a volunteer for the past four years. It's easy work and like s3v3n said, there's a lot of freebies. Unfortunately, I'll have to skip this year, but it looks like there will be a lot of interesting movies out this year.

This year looks like it has one of the best film line ups yet! :D

JWL if you change your mind this year let me know haha.

PMs have been replied to, but I'm still looking for some more people to help me out :thumbsup:

CIFF is always a blast; I've also been involved for years and always have lots of fun :thumbsup:
Hopefully everything goes smoothly for you at the new venue... I'll be sure to send you "Confessions of a Porn Addict" when I'm done with it Wed ;):rofl:


Quite a few beyonders have stepped up to help me out for the festival, thanks guys! I still need more volunteers though so keep the PMs coming!

I am involved indirectly :D This is the second year I've had a film at the CIFF. In 2006 I had the feature "Take Out" screen at the uptown and this year I have a short in the Variety Pak Shorts evening called "Marion Bigsby, Prince of Darkness" on the 27th at 7:30pm in the Globe Upstairs.

Thanks to you and all the volunteers/staff that make this festival the entertaining success that it is!!

Still could use some more help if anyone else is interested.
Help me out during the week and then go see Zorro's film on Sat! :D
