Be a part of something big!

The International Festival of Winter Cinema was started with the goal of bringing the film festival experience to the winter.

If you are a person who loves the winter, then you will enjoy this volunteer opportunity.

​

IFWC is growing, and so does our need for volunteers. IFWC volunteers receive the same benefits as Silver Skate volunteers.

Help us craft a magical Winter Cinema experience!

As a volunteer, you can work with our site manager assembling lights, sound and projector equipment; or taking pictures for our social media platforms with our marketing coordinator.

​

Other tasks include site preparation, fire tender, tracking donations, conducting surveys, and general site crew support. 

A unique opportunity to gain
experience & develop skills

Volunteers will have the chance to watch our wonderful selection of local and international winter films, having access to a heated tent, fresh hot drinks, and a great atmosphere.

 

Volunteers have returned to the festival year after year. In fact some of our longest serving board members started out as volunteers! Our board members are more than willing to teach volunteers important skills for the film industry!

IFWC is held every year on Indigenous land in Treaty 6 territory. This place – amiskwacîwâskahikan – is a traditional meeting ground, gathering place, and travelling route of the Nêhiyawak, Anishinaabe, Niitsitapi, Métis, Dene, and Nakota Sioux. Peoples whose histories, languages, and cultures are the basis of our connection to this land. Land settled, travelled, and cared for by Indigenous Peoples since time immemorial to the present day. Treaties have been affirmed. Treaties have been broken. We acknowledge these truths as a reminder that we are all Treaty People bound to one another by the spirit and intent of Treaty.
