Volunteer

As Cinéfest Sudbury plays host to an increasing number of patrons and industry guests it is important that volunteers serve as ambassadors for both the Festival and the City of Greater Sudbury. Volunteers with an aptitude for customer service are required to assist in a number of ways.

Without the assistance of our amazing volunteers, the Festival would not have reached its current level of excellence. If you have some time to contribute, please consider the options we have available.

If you decide to lend a hand, simply click here to apply online, or in person at our office on 49 Durham Street. If you'd like further information, please call (705) 688-1234, or email volunteer@cinefest.com
