About Me

2008 Philadelphia Film Festival
More info is coming soon!

The 14th Philadelphia International Gay & Lesbian Film Festival is approaching quickly (July 10-21, 2008) and once again, we are stirring up some summer film magic!
The Philadelphia Film Society (PFS) has a dedicated group of individuals that make up the Festival Operations Team. Every member of this team ensures that you, as a volunteer, will find that your festival experience will be fun and rewarding. As Volunteer Coordinator, I will be handling all of your questions and scheduling needs, along with Assistant Volunteer Coordinator, Ann Imperato and the recently appointed PFS Board of Directors President, Claire Kohler.
Each year, an astonishing number of volunteers help produce our film festival. We can’t wait to share the exciting elements of this year’s festival with you at the upcoming volunteer training sessions. Take a look at the following material for detailed information on the many ways you can support the festival, as a volunteer. Then contact myself or the Volunteer Department, to sign up for the appropriate training session date(s).
Are you a new volunteer or not sure how you would like to get involved? Come to one of the general training sessions to learn more about the Festival and the roles volunteers play. You may begin to sign up for shifts following the training.
If you are a returning volunteer, choose the training sessions that apply to you (don’t forget to RSVP) and begin to sign up for shifts once the volunteer schedule is posted on the website, June 16th 2008, by contacting the Volunteer Coordinators. If you are a returning usher or greeter, you do not need to attend a training session. All managers, box office and advanced ticket sales personnel MUST attend a training session.
All of the following information is also available on our website, www.phillyfests.com. And remember, you always have more fun with a friend, so spread the word!
