SUDBURY INDIE CINEMA CAREERS

Film Festival and Series Logistics Co-ordination Intern

(Location: Sudbury)

DESCRIPTION

Film Exhibition Management and Film Programming, especially for select audiences and products is a specialized, well-paying marketable niche skill set few have, but many seek after. Especially in the North where good cultural sector jobs are hard to come by, this internship will be a very unique job opportunity.

Sudbury Indie Cinema is an incredibly prolific community programmer of select films, as well as having spearheaded niche film festivals and series to speak to typically under-served communities and to bring a truly unique brand of programming and community engagement to the NE.

The Internship will initially be focused on learning the practical side of film exhibition, from coordinating print traffic, promotion assets, and back-end duties like analyzing box office reports, researching selected titles and prospective titles, developing marketing assets and evaluating their effectiveness.

In the second half of the Internship, the Intern will begin to flex their artistic muscles by assisting in the curatorial aspects of film programming. They will also shadow and assist the Festival Director of our 4 annual film festivals to understand the ins and outs of festival programming, planning and execution. The Intern will also have weekly interaction with cinema patrons and learn the business of hosting public screenings through directly serving customers and running the logistics necessary for a positive movie-going experience.
