Education Program Intern

Looking for intern to assist with our newly expanded year round education program and the upcoming San Francisco International Film Festival. The education program is a unique outreach program creating a strong connection between the Film Society/Festival and the local educational community, providing students of all ages the opportunity to participate in the Festival experience. A meaningful forum for education, understanding and awareness, our program introduces students to the art of filmmaking and celebrates both the differences and the shared values of the many cultural groups that make up our community. The program aims to broaden insights into other cultures, enhance foreign language aptitude, develop skills for critical analysis of film and inspire a lifelong appreciation of cinema.

Hours: Around 10 -15 hours a week in the office. Starting immediately.

Skills: We are looking for an energetic person with good organizational skills and high attention to detail. Macintosh experience helpful, especially in Microsoft Word and FileMaker Pro. A good portion of your time will be spent contacting Bay Area schools and getting them the necessary information about the program, so good phone skills are needed. The ability to work with kids is important, as you will have a lot of contact with large school groups during screenings and the Festival. Previous schoolwork or background in formal or informal education strongly preferred.

Benefits: This is an unpaid position. Opportunities to attend Festival, press and preview screenings, and also obtain a Film Society membership. A chance to experience the Film Society and Festival from a different and exciting perspective.

How to Apply: Please send resumes and letters of interest to kzwolfer@sffs.org with Education Intern in the subject line.
