Salem Film Festival
March 1–8, Cinema Salem
Massachusetts' premier all-documentary film festival.
SFF Ambassador to Gordon
We're looking for someone who can promote the festival at each local college. At Gordon, this would mean putting up posters and distributing postcards (ideally in student and faculty mailboxes, or just around if that's not possible), distributing film roster/description flyers, working to get coverage in the college paper or radio station, and coming to an SFF volunteer meeting in Salem at least once between now and the fest. The goal is to make sure that the Gordon community knows about the festival and that attendance among Gordon students, faculty and staff grows.
All this work might require 15-20 hours of time (+ or -) and in exchange, the student would receive an all-access pass to all films and events at the festival. More than one student can apply.

IFFBoston 2012: April 25–May 2
The Independent Film Festival of Boston (IFFBoston) shows films that people might not get a chance to see anywhere else, films that are both innovative and crowd-pleasing. It offers the chance to meet the filmmakers at post-screening parties, and to ask them questions both after the films and at festival panels.
The festival is a selection of American movies made outside the Hollywood studio system, and International films, with a mix of narrative features and documentaries, short films, including animation and experimental genres.
