NOFF 2024 Volunteer Screener
The 2024 New Orleans Film Festival is seeking volunteer film screeners to offer their perspectives and insight regarding submitted films under consideration for the festival.
The New Orleans Film Society uses the following criteria to select its volunteer screeners:
- A willingness to commit a minimum of 3 hours weekly from mid-February to late June watching films and if working in the shorts category, in conversation about those films with a screener group.
- A willingness and ability to describe and support your assessment of a given submission.
- Strict adherence to the confidentiality guidelines established by the NOFS.
- The ability to watch each film assigned in its entirety, without skimming.
- A commitment to watch and rate the films in a timely manner.
- An open-minded, generally positive approach to film and respect for the commitment, work, and vision of every filmmaker.
- An eagerness to diversify the stories we share at NOFF, incorporating more work by new filmmakers, women, people of color, and the LGBTQ community.
- No involvement in any capacity with any of the submitted films in your category, including financial or production involvement in the film, or close relationship to filmmakers or producing team.
- Ability to analyze films with a critical eye and offer insight into how well a film might play with New Orleans audiences.
Meeting expectations for any given screener category warrants an All Access pass to the 2024 New Orleans Film Festival, taking place both virtually and in-person. ALL APPLICANTS WHO WISH TO BE CONSIDERED SHOULD SUBMIT THIS FORM BY END OF DAY January 24th, 2024.
PLEASE NOTE: Submitting a screener application does not guarantee that you will be selected as a screener. There is a greater interest in screening than there are slots available, and we are unfortunately not able to accommodate all requests for participation.
