To ensure a safe festival for everyone, we will be enforcing our COVID-19 protocols (masking and proof of vaccination) at every stage of our festival! Volunteers will be asked to comply. If you have any questions, please contact volunteers@aafilmfest.org.
Volunteer Incentives
Volunteers receive a 60th AAFF t-shirt, other AAFF goodies, and earn tickets/passes as follows:
3 hours -- 3 Main Auditorium Tickets
6 hours -- 6 Main Auditorium Tickets
12 hours -- 1 weekend pass
15+ hours -- 1 full festival pass which includes online access during festival week
Housing Incentives
As a thank you for housing filmmakers for the film festival, you will receive 2 full festival passes to the festival! This will give you access to all of our in-person and online offerings.
*As we explore the functionality of our online festival system, we’ll determine how possible it is for us to also make online access available to hardworking volunteers
What does offering housing for visiting filmmakers entail?
Housing a visiting filmmaker is one of THE most useful ways to help the film festival. Since we are still in a pandemic,
it is uncertain how many filmmakers will be joining us in Ann Arbor the week of the festival, but we still need to plan for the space!
As with the rest of our in-person festival, we are requiring proof of vaccination and masking. We will ask the same of our visiting filmmakers while they are in shared spaces.
Even if you can only donate space for a portion of the festival, every bit helps! If you are interested in this option to donate your space to a visiting filmmaker, please fill out this form. For any questions, please reach out to hospitality@aafilmfest.org.
Not sure how you'd like to help?
Sign up to stay in the loop! We need nearly 100 volunteers to help us make the 60th as memorable as we're hoping it will be! We need you to be a part of it all.
