VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED

Volunteering for the Richmond International Film Festival is an exciting way to become an integral part of Richmond’s premier film and music events running from Sept. 8-13, 2020.

RIFF creates a close-knit environment for volunteers, enthusiastic newcomers, and returning volunteers, who bring with them a wealth of experience and a knowledge and love for what the Festival is all about. Volunteering has many benefits. As well as being a fantastic way to meet like-minded people, and experience the celebration of film and music that RIFF brings to Richmond each year, it’s a wonderful opportunity to gain first-hand experience of how an event of this scale is managed and organized. The connections formed between volunteers (both on the job and afterwards) last far beyond each festival year.

Some of the opportunities to volunteer at physical events this year are film screenings @ the historic Byrd theatre, Friday night Double Feature with the Squirrels @ the Diamond Baseball Stadium, and an all day music event @ Tang & Biscuit in Scott’s Addition.
