With great expectations pouring in, Cinemalaya needs all the help it can get—and that includes yours. Get up kids, the much-awaited independent film festival is looking for volunteers for this year’s run, from Aug. 2 to 13.
But hey, being up for the job doesn’t end with the honeymoon thrill of wearing your IDs a la bragging rights. Being a Cinemalaya volunteer means a lot of assisting. You’ll be assigned to work with the usherers during registration, lend a hand in manning various booths, and even become a backup eye backstage, to make sure nothing would fall apart in a performance.

Best part? It’d probably be working side-by-side with filmmakers, actors, and others who keep Philippine cinema alive.
