Description
We are an Italian no profit association engaged in the planning and management of cultural activities in the film domain. Since 2011 our main activity is a film event specifically dedicated to the art and craft of cinematography:
Our event takes place every summer in the town of Catania and the Mount Etna (Sicily), one of Italy's most prominent touristic hubs. Volunteering will allow you to spend an unforgettable time in a gorgeous location and culturally stimulating environment. You will meet and connect with extremely interesting people, such as the international guests of the festival and the film students attending our residential campus and you'll gain a valuable experience for your future career, especially if you're into cinema related fields. You'll be fully involved with the work of our international staff and your help will be essential for the successful outcome: so, do not hesitate, come and join us!
