VOLUNTEER

Jali Collective’s inaugural Jali Film Weekender celebrates the richness and diversity of Black, African and diaspora cinema. We are looking for enthusiastic and motivated volunteers to help us deliver our first festival edition which will take place from Thursday 30 October – Sunday 2 November 2025 at Edinburgh’s Filmhouse Cinema.

Festival volunteers will welcome audiences, assist with screenings, gather visitor feedback and invigilate the extended reality exhibition. There will be a volunteer induction so you feel confident and able in your role.

Volunteering at Jali Film Weekender is an opportunity to meet likeminded people, develop your skills and experience of cultural events, and to enjoy the Jali Film Weekender programme. 

Shifts will be between 3 - 6 hours, if your shift is longer than 4 hours you will be given a 30 minute break. Volunteers receive a per diem of £10. If you are passionate about Black, African and diaspora film and arts, and over the age of 18, please register your interest by completing this form.

Deadline: 16 October
