The Guerrilla Staff is the soul of Biografilm, the team of volunteers that every year makes the Festival possible.
Who joins the Guerrilla team does it to experience the festival from the inside, to get involved, to gain experience in the world of events and to share the passion for cinema. Being Guerrilla also means joining a dynamic community, where every contribution really counts and every day is an opportunity to learn something new. The volunteers' time and commitment are fundamental to the success of Biografilm, and the festival reciprocates by offering exclusive access to screenings and special events.Participating as Guerrilla Staff is not only a way to grow professionally, but a unique opportunity to get to know the world of cinema up close, meet international guests and forge friendships that last well beyond the festival.
WHICH GUERRILLA ARE YOU?
Marketing and cerimonial office: the activities of the Marketing Office are among the most involved in the entire event and involve numerous initiatives aimed at overseeing the moments of the festival organised in collaboration with institutions, sponsors and Festival partners. Those who will be part of this group will also have the opportunity to follow the Ceremonial Office in the management of special events by welcoming guests and guests at previews and the most significant evenings. The requirements are spirit of initiative, willingness to work and a propensity for problem solving.
Set up and logistics: the tasks are the most varied: we move from setting up the locations to the resolution of the most unexpected emergencies, but with the joy and dynamism that has always distinguished this group.
Desk Information / Reception: the most suitable role for those who love contact with the public. Those part of this team will have the task of setting up the desk with the daily events program and information material, welcoming visitors, managing the distribution of the Biografilm Card, and providing people with all the information about the events and transmitting a sense of passion and curiosity for the Festival.
Photo/Video Journalism: calling all photographers and aspiring filmmakers. Those in this team will be constantly on the move: you will be sent over to events to capture golden moments and document the festival as it’s underway, producing material that will go closest to live as possible. You will need to already have the necessary equipment. Enthusiasm, initiative, and a readiness to be available are the best assets for being able to be in the right place at the right time and truly be the eyes of Biografilm Festival.
Ushers: a sense of responsibility, patience and a smile are the fundamental qualities for Guerrillas in this team, called upon to handle the most complex and exciting moments of the Festival. Ushers will make sure to uphold the value of the best possible viewing conditions for the films, providing the public with wide-ranging information about the films presented during the festival, managing access and checking the guests’ accreditation, liaising with the projection booth in order to ensure the smooth running of Biografilm’s film program and to make the spectators feel comfortable.
Hospitality / Guest Services: Do you want to meet the national and international guests of Biografilm? By joining this team, you will take care of everything that has to do with their feeling welcome. It is essential to speak and write fluently in English or another foreign language and it is also important to be able to master a certain degree of patience: you never know what adventurous requests might spring from the guests that pass each year from Biografilm.
Communication office: those interested in discovering the world of communication, on-site and online, within a major event such as Biografilm, will have the opportunity to take part in meetings with the press and preside over the Press Area, manage the Festival's various communication channels (social media and website). It is recommended to be in possession of suitable equipment, to be familiar with the social language and innovative in the creation of content.
Green: as you know, environmental sustainability issues are becoming increasingly central to the global scene, and Biografilm is working hard to implement various strategies to be as less impactful as possible. As Guerrilla Staff you will be called to be the voice of these good practices, with the aim of raising awareness about reducing waste, recycling operation, and conveying the importance of respecting our planet.
