Whether you’re a film buff or just love supporting the local arts scene, our volunteers are essential in making the magic happen in downtown London.
To ensure the festival runs smoothly, we ask our volunteers for attendance at a mandatory orientation session prior to the festival start date and to complete a minimum of two shifts (approximately 4-6 hours each) during the festival.
While our main focus is the autumn season, keep an eye out for year-round opportunities to get involved!
We couldn’t do this without you, and we make sure our volunteers are taken care of. While perks vary year to year, volunteers can expect:
Wear your pride with our official crew shirt.
Earn access to screenings and best seats in the house.
See how a major cultural event comes to life.
Plus the chance to meet fellow film lovers and creators!
What does a day at the festival look like? Our volunteers handle everything from the front-of-house buzz to the behind-the-scenes logistics:
Scan tickets, usher guests, and assist audience members with a smile.
Support concessions and help our attendees feel at home.
Assist with special events, panel discussions, and gala nights.
Help our team with venue set-up and tear-down to keep the show on the road.
The volunteer applications portal has closed for FCFF 2026, but please email us at volunteer@forestcityfilmfest.ca with your interest to be added to our volunteer mailing list for future opportunities.
