Festival Ambassadors

In light of the evolving COVID-19 situation, our 5-day Film Festival will shift to a virtual format this fall. Below you will find an archive of the Virginia Film Festival's Ambassadors program, which gives University of Virginia students the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in event-planning and entertainment publicity.

The Program

The Festival Ambassadors program is a month-long opportunity for UVA students to gain hands-on experience in the entertainment industry through event coordination, publicity, and marketing.

Ambassadors will be responsible for:

  • Creating original promotional content for festival programming
  • Coordinating and publicizing the late night on-Grounds film series
  • Planning on-Grounds initiatives to raise awareness of Festival events and increase student engagement
  • Partnering with senior staff to support the 2019 Virginia Film Festival and its programs

Festival Ambassadors will receive:

  • VAFF merchandise
  • Complimentary group meal to kick-off the Ambassadors program
  • Complimentary group meal during program check-in
  • Opportunities to meet and network with VAFF staff and guests

Please note, this is a volunteer position. Festival Ambassadors will be expected to commit 1-2 hours / week.

The Application

All UVA undergraduate and graduate, part-time and full-time students of any year are welcome to apply. First and second year students are especially encouraged to apply.

We are not currently accepting applications.
