CPI 13 - MILANO FILM FESTIVAL 06.09. -19.09.11 FEST VOLS: 14
AGE: 18 +
LOCATION: Milan
BACKGROUND: Since 1996 Milano Film Festival has attracted films and filmmakers from all over the world. It is independent - from the interests of major distributors, from institutional politics, from money, from fashion, from critics. But it is also dependent - on the filmmakers' creativity and talent, on the expertise, the experience and the skills of the people that organize it, on the work and commitment of hundreds of volunteers. This festival has proved that Milan can be a friendly and hospitable city. For ten days, this festival transforms places and people that pass through them.
WORK: First of all, please bear in mind that lots of people like you, including local/Italian volunteers, work together to make the festival happen: be creative, flexible and open to perform different tasks! Before the festival starts, volunteers will help setting up the area - this may involve moving things around, painting, cleaning - and distributing flyers. You must be creative and practical! During the festival, volunteers will help running the Infopoint, distribute information,/programs, sell and check tickets for the projections, They will help manage the staff area where drinks and food are available to staff only. There are usually afternoon and evening shifts (the last one ending around 1am). Volunteers will also contribute to the management of "Directors' House", where they will stay. Tasks at the house include welcoming guests upon arrival, general reception duties, get the rooms and beds ready for the guests and preparing breakfast in the morning. Volunteers may also help preparing sandwiches for lunch. Once again, make sure you're happy to help with whatever is needed - a lot of work is needed to make the festival run smoothly. Be proactive and bring good will! Volunteers will have 2 free days during the workcamp, to be arranged according to the festival's needs.
ACCOMMODATION: Volunteers will stay at "Directors' House", a temporary alternative hostel set up by Esterni to host filmmakers and other guests.
