Film Festival Screener
About the Organization
Founded in 2004, the mission of the Indy Film Fest is to create a shared experience around film in Indianapolis. We present movies that entertain, inform, challenge, and expand audience perspectives by providing a vivid reflection of the cultural diversity of the Indianapolis community and beyond. The Indy Film Fest is a 100% volunteer-driven organization, with every person involved—from screeners to ticket-takers to the board of directors—contributing for the love of film.
About the Role
We're looking for a diverse set of film fans to help us choose the films for the next Indy Film Fest!
