Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival is a not-for-profit organization and North America’s largest documentary festival, conference and market. In the office, in the theatres and at special events, Hot Docs counts on its volunteers to help the Festival run smoothly and we highly value their dedication. The Festival Videographer volunteer will be working alongside the Video Production Coordinator to document special events and screenings during the 2018 Festival. This is a great opportunity for film to gain more experience and play a unique role in the Festival. Not only will volunteers gain more experience and make valuable connections on the team, they will also have access to select industry networking events during the Festival. Professional gear will be provided. We require a commitment of five full days (shift lengths and start times vary but are generally 4-5 hours), from April 26 – May 6, 2018.
