The Guerrilla Staff is made up of young people and students who are passionate about cinema and who have the drive and curiosity to participate actively in the organization of the Biografilm Festival.
Being part of this team is a unique opportunity to test the skills acquired during your studies, to meet people with similar interests, to shadow and collaborate with the staff in the bringing together of a complex and engaging cultural event.
The Guerrillas are also privileged spectators: Biografilm works hard to attract a large number of volunteers each year, so that everyone has enough free time to attend the screenings and participate in side events.
The Guerrilla Staff represents a special jury that is tasked in assigning the Guerrilla Award to one of the selected films as well as the friendliest guest of the Festival.

Marketing and cerimonial office: The activities of the marketing office allow the greatest involvement in the event as a whole as they go through numerous initiatives to enhance collaborations with Institutions and important sponsors and partners of the event. Those in this team will be able to gain with a true formative experience: organizing events, distributing materials, these are just some of the activities that you will be called upon to manage. Requisites? A spirit of initiative, a desire to get stuck in and knack for problem solving.
