Volunteer with us: Volunteer Coordinator

Buzz Cinema is seeking a Volunteer Coordinator to organise and support our volunteer team during our fortnight of festival events. This is a short-term, unpaid volunteer role designed to support a specific event period rather than an ongoing commitment. This volunteer role runs until the end of May 2026.

The role is ideal for someone interested in developing skills in leadership, communication, and event management, while contributing to a friendly and supportive cultural festival environment. You will act as a key point of contact for volunteers, ensuring they feel informed, welcomed, and supported throughout the festival.

The application deadline is the 14th of February, at midnight.

Who We Are

Buzz Cinema is a place to connect, learn and develop skills. Creating a bridge between film lovers, emerging filmmakers and industry, this is a foundation for the growing film scene in the area.
