2025 Volunteer Film Screener

Flexible Schedule | Virtual Opportunity

In 2024, Santa Fe International Film Festival received over 4,100 film submissions, and--with the festival's new Academy Award(r) Qualifying Status (winners of SFiFF's Best Narrative Short, Best Animated Short, and Best Documentary Short awards may qualify to enter the Academy Awards(r) provided the films otherwise comply with the Academy rules)--we look forward to receiving even more submissions in 2025! We are seeking assistance watching and reviewing all of these exciting new films. Potential screeners must be able to commit to watching a very large number of films in an extremely short period of time between February and September (with the bulk of screening between June and August), conveying their feelings in a concise and nuanced manner. It's a delicate, complex process, calling for the utmost discretion along with great taste and understanding of the SFiFF Film Program. Sound like you? Please Fill Out This Form Thank you, SFiFF Programming Team If you have any questions or issues with this form, please email: Stephanie@santafe.film
