A Filmfestival in Germany you never heard of before
Deutsch Ungarische Gesellschaft in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern e.V.
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
The volunteer will live in a spacious shared flat together with other European volunteers. The building has recently been modernised and has a large common room that is a living room and kitchen in one. The volunteer rooms are equipped with a bed, desk, chair and wardrobe. The bathroom is to be shared with an other volunteer. From the flat, it takes about 25-30 minutes to get to the city centre by bus or train, or faster by bike. To the beach it's 45 minutes by train.
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.
