Münchner Filmwerkstatt and Filmhaus Köln
are both looking for young people under 30 from all over Europe (but not from
Germany) who are willing to achieve an European Voluntary Service of 12 months
in Munich or Cologne.
Accommodation and food are undertaken
and you will receive pocket money, languages courses and a lot of others
services which are given under the rules of the European Voluntary Service.
Thus, people who are looking for a practical experience after the end of their
studies are entirely suitable for such an experience. Concretely we are looking
for volunteers in the following domains:
Organization
and management of seminars, workshops and courses
You help in the organization and
management of seminars, workshops and courses dealing with film making. This
includes holiday courses for children and teenagers as well as other
educational offers to further training for professional and aspiring
filmmakers. In the beginning you will assist in conducting individual
activities and once you feel more comfortable and confident, you will move on
to take more responsibility.
Like for instance, the conception of
your own workshop/seminar, public relations and other areas which interest you.
Of course, you are allowed and have to attend the seminars and workshops, in
order to extend your knowledge on every aspect of film making. You work within
a team with other volunteers, trainers from the film industry and our
employees. And you will be involved in all rights and obligations -including
running our training studios, seminar rooms, etc. As a lot of seminars and
workshops are given during the weekends, you will have free days in the week as
compensation.
Available places:
3 Volunteers in Cologne from January,
February and March 2014 (each for 12 months)
2 Volunteers in Munich, one from spring
and one from autumn 2014 (each for 12 months)
Eventually 2 volunteers in Babelsberg
from January and February 2014 (each for 12 months)
Organization
and management of a Short Film Festival
KALIBER35 is a one-week short film
festival, held in Munich in late June since 2006. The event is traditionally
organized by volunteers only. You undertake the coordination of the project
from the publication of the call for entries, the search for suitable films,
maintaining contact with our festival alumni and visiting other festivals
through the screening of submitted films (hundreds or maybe thousands), program
selection and the invitation of the selected films and their makers, to the
organization and management of the event, contact and billing with supporters
and sponsors, the press and public relations through the website, social media,
newsletters, posters and flyers. What is also indispensable, is the good
documentation and constant reflection on all processes, so that your successors
would know how to tackle the project, just like you can fall back on the
experiences of your predecessors. Of course you will not carry this project
alone, but with other volunteers and trainees that you are going to supervise
and instruct. You can divide your time according to your will - except during
the festival itself, where you will hardly have time to sleep... The tremendous
variety of tasks and responsibilities for the project contribute to its special
appeal, but also its challenge.
Available places:
1 Volunteer in Munich from now (12
months)
1 Volunteer in Munich from mid-June 2014
(12 months following a month with a fee-based contract)
Support
and distribution of indie films projects
The support of independent films is the
main aim of the Münchner Filmwerkstatt. Seminars and the short film festival
are indirectly linked to this matter, but we undertake as well the support of
selected projects.
To this you can help behind the scene
with crowd funding and audience development, social media activities and press
production, submission to festivals and online distribution. The challenge is
to help the selected films to visibility in the digital world. To achieve this,
you will develop and expand a community, increase the number of likes /
followers / subscribers / viewers, optimize the presentation, blog, twitter and
much more. Being a "digital native", platforms like Facebook,
Google+, Twitter, Vimeo, Youtube, Indiegogo, Kickstarter, Wikipedia, WordPress
and others already mean something to you. Being interested and motivated to
understand and put into practice each of the latest trends and updates, you
will make an important contribution to the success of independent films.
Available places:
1 Volunteer in Munich from 2014 (12
months)
