Volunteer Opportunities
We are currently looking to expand our team in the following capacities, but are always willing to accept donations of time and talent! Please reach out if you would like to get involved.
Film Programming
Help us select the films that we show at Wicked Queer! In a typical year, we can receive as many as 3,000 film submissions -- and our volunteer programmers watch them, score them, and figure out where and when we show the very best of them.
Programming volunteers meet monthly during programming season, which runs July through February.
Festival Operations
During the festivals in April and November, our volunteers fill a vital role in supporting our screening venues. Venue support volunteers greet and guide attendees, check tickets and badges, and distribute and collect audience award ballots. Venue volunteers collaborate with the WQ team and venue staff to create a welcoming and efficient festival atmosphere.
Help make Wicked Queer more accessible by supporting our online program in April and November every year. Uploading film programs, checking data integrity, and answering audience questions are key parts of making our virtual festival a resource for the members of our community who choose to watch from home--wherever they are!
We like to party! Our festivals are regularly attended by filmmakers, special guests, and our community! Our events team plans, promotes, and coordinates smooth operations for all of our festival parties.
Year Round
Help us maintain and extend our shiny new website! We are looking for a Webflow expert who can help us make our website an even more valuable resource for our community.
With forty years of history, Wicked Queer has seen the world of Queer rights and Queer cinema change dramatically. We are looking for an archivist to help us organize our physical and digital assets and preserve them for future generations as good stewards of history.
