The Atlantic International Film Festival is seeking candidates for festival Pre-

Screeners for the 44th edition of our festival this fall; September 11-18, 2024. Whether

you have a background in film history, filmmaking, or are a cinephile, we’re looking

for a diverse group of people who want to spend some free time watching and

reviewing unique and thought-provoking festival submissions from voices around

the world.

A Pre-Screener supports the artistic initiatives of the programming department by

reviewing short or feature-length films submitted to AIFF. The Pre-Screener will

watch assigned films at home and then rate them from 1-10, along with leaving a few

comments that provide context for the rating. The overall goal of a pre-screener is

to identify films of interest to the Atlantic International Film Festival Programming

team for further consideration as selections for AIFF.

A commitment to screen up to 25 short films, or 5 narrative feature or documentary films per week (approximately 10 hours/week) between May 6 - June 28.
A strong & reliable internet connection
A passion for film
Familiarity with AIFF’s previous programming will be considered an asset, not a necessity

You will receive a complimentary pass to AIFF 2024, which gives access to the film

selection, as well as an honorarium of $200 CAD. You will gain resume building

experience in film screening that can be used in the future to apply for other

programming positions. In addition, you will be one of the first to view some of the

films that will premiere at our festival before they have been released to the public!

Please submit the form below to be considered as a 2024 AIFF Pre-Screener.

Thank you for your interest in AIFF! Deadline April 29, 2024.

The Atlantic International Film Festival welcomes applications from female-identified,

BIPOC, 2SLGBTQ+ and Deaf and Disabled individuals. Please feel free to self-identify

on the questionnaire if you come from one of these priority communities.
