WHICH GUERRILLA ARE YOU?
Marketing and cerimonial office: The activities of the Marketing Office are among the most engaging of the entire festival and involve numerous initiatives aimed at overseeing the festival’s events organized in collaboration with institutions, sponsors, and partners. Those who join this team will also have the opportunity to work alongside the Ceremonial Office in managing special events, welcoming guests and attendees at premieres and major evening occasions. The key requirements are initiative, enthusiasm, and a strong aptitude for problem-solving.
Set up and logistics: Logistics is the backbone of Biografilm. It involves planning, organizing, and managing the movement of materials and equipment to ensure that every event runs smoothly. In this department, you’ll take care of preparing venues and setting up both the back and front areas of the Festival. This section also incorporates Biografilm’s Green sustainability policies. As a member of the team, you’ll be a true sustainability ambassador—responsible for monitoring the environmental impact of the event, raising public awareness about waste reduction, and promoting proper recycling practices.
Desk Information / Reception: In this department, you’ll interact with all the key figures who bring the festival to life—it’s the first point of contact that both audiences and guests have with Biografilm. This role is perfect for those who enjoy engaging with the public and representing the image of the Festival. Your tasks will include welcoming visitors, managing the distribution of Biografilm Cards and gadgets, and providing information about the events—all while sharing your enthusiasm and passion for the Festival and its content.
Ushers: Attention to detail, responsibility, and patience are the key qualities for members of this team—along with a smile and a sense of fun. This department is entrusted with managing some of the most exciting and complex moments of the Festival. Theater attendants are responsible for enhancing the film-viewing experience by providing audiences with comprehensive information about the works presented during the Festival, managing entry flows, and checking audience credentials to ensure the smooth operation of Biografilm’s program and to make every guest feel at ease.
Hospitality / Guest Services: This department offers the opportunity to meet Biografilm’s national and international guests and to take part in all aspects of their hospitality. It is essential to have a good command of English or other foreign languages, both spoken and written, and to approach with patience the many adventurous requests that may come from the personalities attending the Festival each year.
Communication office: Those interested in exploring the world of communication—both on-site and online—within a major event like Biografilm will have the opportunity to take part in press meetings and manage the Press Area, as well as oversee the Festival’s various communication channels (social media and website). It is recommended to have appropriate equipment, be familiar with social media language, and bring a creative and innovative approach to content creation.
Photo/Video Reportage: For those passionate about photography and videomaking who are eager to get involved and capture the most vibrant moments of the event—be ready to immortalize and document Biografilm’s best scenes and emotions. You’ll need to have your own equipment, along with plenty of enthusiasm and energy.
