Each October, SFiFF relies on the support of volunteers like you! We are looking for dependable, personable volunteers in the following roles:

Usher: Great for first-time volunteers or those excellent with customer service skills! Ushers are the face of SFiFF and assist in directing guests, answering questions, scanning festival passes and tickets, and ensuring fair balloting for each film.

Venue Host: Reserved for volunteers with previous experience at our festival or another similar event, Venue Hosts help provide direction to the venue's ushers, and also excel in customer service!

Party Host: Only for volunteers ages 21+, Party Hosts scan festival passes and tickets at the entrance of our party venues!

Production Volunteer: A valid driver's license and truck are required for transportation, set-up, and take-down of SFiFF banners. This volunteer (team) will also remove banners at the end of each night of our five-day festival.

Box Office Volunteer: Box Office volunteers provide assistance to SFiFF's Box Office Manager and/or Box Office Assistant. This role's tasks include answering questions about showtimes and sold-out screenings, organizing merchandise, tidying VR headsets, and helping distribute filmmaker bags.

Operations Volunteer: These limited shifts are often scheduled before the festival, and include tasks such as merchandise counting, folding, and labeling, program distribution, and other simple, but crucial errands.
