Film Festival Technician Required
Film Festival Technician Required (Unpaid Experience)
FAFF2010 requires a film show reel producer/technician to prepare film show reels of selected artists’ films with consistent title sequences for digital DVD projection. We require you to have your own software and hardware to produce high quality film show reels DVDs from a variety of digital formats under the direction of the festival curators. The film festival will run 14th – 20th August 2010 and availability to test-run the final show reels in advance of the launch is essential. Knowledge and skills of show reel production and AV equipment is essential but previous festival experience is not essential.
FAFF2010 is a zero budget film festival and is regrettable unable to offer financial reward for work but will provide enjoyable and creditable experience working as part of a creative team.
To apply, email: dice.fundada[at]yahoo.co.uk outlining your working knowledge of film, your software of choice, your availability in August and any other additional festival roles you may be interested in.
About Halifax Festival:
The Halifax Festival began life in 2007 as The July Project, a festival for the children and young people in Calderdale. The event was hugely successful with over 35,000 children turning up, tuning in and taking part. This video was recorded during the 2009 festival which will give you a flavour of what we have achieved and a feeling for what we would like to do:

The organising committee for The July Project met soon after the 2009 event and began to consider the route forward. They decided that they wanted to move the date to August and open the event out to everyone not just the children and young people of Calderdale.
Halifax Festival are looking for performers, venues, volunteers and sponsors. Please contact Lucy Burnett on [email protected] 01422 353073 for a list of opportunities.
