Do you love queer cinema? Do you enjoy discovering new talent on the rise? We’re currently looking for a few enthusiastic film lovers to join our festival screening committee. We’re looking for individuals who are passionate about LGBTQ+ stories and media who can assist with viewing submissions for the upcoming film festival and aid in the dynamic, diverse, and trailblazing programming showcased each year for nearly half a century. Prior experience isn’t necessary, but a passion and curiosity for queer art and an open mind toward a broad spectrum of voices and talent are crucial.

Our 300+ volunteers are vital team members that assist us in producing one of the premier LGBTQ+ Film Festivals every June. We look forward to offering you a meaningful and enjoyable volunteer experience. Every year, our amazing volunteers from around the Bay Area log nearly 5,000 hours to welcome over 60,000 attendees and make the San Francisco International LGBTQ+ Film Festival a success. 

Frameline volunteers perform a variety of roles across the Festival, including box office, event staff, ushers, drivers for Festival guests, and more. We ask all volunteers to attend an orientation session and commit to a minimum of three shifts during the course of the Festival (approximately 12 hours).

Check back in the spring for updates about how to volunteer for Frameline49!
