Fundraising Officer - Accra International Film Festival

Academy of Screen Arts, Ghana

Volunteer - Ghana, Africa

Apply by: 31st December 2010

Dear Volunteers!

What’s your favorite Ghanaian film? Or African film?

…Can’t think of any? Well, we want to change that:

The Academy of Screen Arts, Ghana, is currently organizing the first Accra International Film Festival (AIFF), which will take place on June 15-19 2011. It will showcase the most creative, experimental and innovative films from Ghana, Africa and the rest of the world.

Why?

We will bring international attention to African film, and help Africans to connect to the world through the arts. There is more to Africa than what is generally promoted through the Media! Let the Africans speak for themselves and show the world their interesting ideas, visions and culture.

We want to give African and international filmmakers the chance to build working relationships and create fresh multi-cultural films together. Most Western movies long follow well-known schemata, and few are a real surprise; Now, what would happen if Africans bring some new wind into it? You don’t know? Yet…

What can you do to make it possible?

You can help us with identifying potential sponsors and funders, proposal writing and budgeting, and formulating policies and structures that can be used for subsequent festivals. All that is possible from your place (via the internet), or at our office in Accra, Ghana! During the festival, there will be even more opportunities, like screening assistant. Positions are time flexible, but are preferred to start as soon as possible.

What do you get?

A feeling of satisfaction in knowing you helped the arts in Africa rise from the unknown? Yes, certainly, but you will also receive a personal certificate for your efforts, which makes a great eye-catcher in you CV! Moreover, those who want to come to the festival next year will receive free food, airport transfer and accommodation for the week!

Interested?

Please contact AIFF at info@accrafilm.com or call us at 0023 3302108084 (Ghana Office) or 00233 242108084 (mobile). And visit our website at http://www.accrafilm.com

Thank you for your help bringing international attention to African film, and supporting Africans in having their own voice in the world.
