A Filmfestival in Germany you never heard of before

Institut für neue Medien Rostock

Rostock, Germany

Description

Filmfestivals and media work with young people from the Baltic area! The institute for new media in Rostock, Germany is looking for open-minded volunteers who are interested in modern media, youth culture, films and event management! We're a non-profit training and production company with beneficial status, dedicated to promote media education and media culture in northern Germany. The volunteering opportunity we offer is based on an annual film festival that takes place in Rostock since 2004. The festival is called „FiSH - Filmfestival im StadtHafen“ and focusses on films by people who are younger than 27 and live either in Germany or in the south Baltic area. The EVS work contains various aspects such as researching, planning, organizing, preparing, managing and promoting, as well as direct communication with filmmakers, locations or hostels. The volunteer will be part of the main management team and becomes a full member of the staff.

Accommodation, food and transport arrangements

You would live in a dormitory together with two more European volunteers. Each volunteer has his/her own, already equipped room while sharing a bathroom with another volunteer. The three volunteers share a large kitchen on their own floor. It takes about 20 to 25 minutes to get from the residence to the city centre by bus or train. Your workplace is also located there. Also, it takes about 40 minutes to get to the beach by public transport. Every month, our volunteers will be provided with pocket money (including food money) and a ticket for public transportation.

Participant profile

Being cheery, open-minded and receptive to the unfamiliar. Interest in film and media is beneficial. Basic computer and software skills such as Microsoft Office or Google Drive are essential. Also German language-skills will be of advantage and welcome. If you're interested simply send an e-mail with your CV and a letter of motivation to papenhagen@ifnm.de .
