Two Internships at the Freiburger Filmforum - Festival of Transcultural Cinema

 

1. Social media and public relations internship (February - June 2025)

The expan­sion of the fes­ti­val into dig­i­tal spaces requires an even stronger pres­ence in the social media land­scape and a seri­ous com­mit­ment to dig­i­tal public rela­tions. To strength­en our team in this area, we are seek­ing an intern. As a social media and dig­i­tal public rela­tions intern, you will con­tribute cre­ative ideas and offer ener­getic sup­port to attract the best audi­ence pos­si­ble to our fes­ti­val. Being an organ­ised, inde­pen­dent person who can also work well in a team, you will plan and create social media cam­paigns and our website’s design as well as expand the out­reach to the festival’s net­work of insti­tu­tions, stake­hold­ers, and audi­ence mem­bers in Freiburg and inter­na­tion­al­ly. Addi­tion­al­ly, you can get involved in other areas of fes­ti­val organ­i­sa­tion accord­ing to your own inter­ests and experience.

Your daily tasks will involve:
* plan­ning and imple­ment­ing social media cam­paigns to create a lively and mean­ing­ful pres­ence on social media as well as strength­en public relations
* cre­at­ing a social media cal­en­dar, coor­di­nat­ing and sched­ul­ing daily/weekly posts on Insta­gram, Face­book, and through our newsletter
* copy­writ­ing for var­i­ous social media plat­forms in English
* work­ing with image edit­ing soft­ware (Pho­to­shop / InDe­sign) to adapt our design to fit dif­fer­ent plat­forms and formats
* gen­er­al fes­ti­val assis­tance in other areas of work accord­ing to your inter­ests and skills

We are look­ing for some­one who has:
* pas­sion for and expe­ri­ence with social media (Insta­gram, Face­book, Vimeo) and flu­en­cy in cre­at­ing posts, sto­ries, or cam­paigns — or the will­ing­ness to famil­iar­ize your­self with this area independently
* expe­ri­ence with image edit­ing soft­ware such as Pho­to­shop, Gimp or InDe­sign and a strong sense of layout and visual design (some expe­ri­ence in video edit­ing would be a plus)
* con­fi­dence and cre­ativ­i­ty in for­mu­lat­ing appeal­ing, cre­ative copy in English
* ambi­tion to con­tribute cre­ative ideas and to exe­cute them both inde­pen­dent­ly and in col­lab­o­ra­tion with team members

 

2. Organisation and coordination (February - June 2025)

As our cura­to­r­i­al work is already at an advanced stage, we will soon be focus­ing more on organ­i­sa­tion­al tasks. We are there­fore seek­ing an intern to strength­en our team in this area. We are look­ing for some­one who enjoys organ­is­ing and has a good feel for work process­es to ensure the smooth prepa­ra­tion and imple­men­ta­tion of the fes­ti­val. You like to take on respon­si­bil­i­ty and don’t mind having lots of tasks on your mind at the same time. As an inde­pen­dent person that also likes to work in a team, you will be involved in a vari­ety of tasks. From prepar­ing the pro­gramme announce­ment and com­pil­ing infor­ma­tion for the fes­ti­val cat­a­logue to coor­di­nat­ing the fes­ti­val office during the film week. Addi­tion­al­ly, you can get involved in other areas of the fes­ti­val accord­ing to your own inter­ests and experience.

Your daily tasks will involve:
* Assist­ing the team with organ­i­sa­tion­al tasks before and during the festival
* Assis­tance in the cre­ation of the fes­ti­val cat­a­logue, includ­ing text edit­ing and research for press materials
* Coor­di­nat­ing the fes­ti­val office during the fes­ti­val week
* Being a con­tact person for our volunteers
* Assist­ing with tasks relat­ed to our Con­tent Man­age­ment System
* Pro­vid­ing gen­er­al fes­ti­val sup­port based on your skills and interests

We are look­ing for some­one who:
* has a pas­sion for and/or expe­ri­ence in organ­i­sa­tion­al tasks and excel­lent com­mu­ni­ca­tion skills
* is reli­able and con­fi­dent in work­ing with text, as well as pro­fi­cient in Word and Excel
* has a strong com­mand of Eng­lish, both writ­ten and spoken
* is ambi­tious about han­dling organ­i­sa­tion­al tasks and con­tribut­ing cre­ative ideas, exe­cut­ing them both inde­pen­dent­ly and as part of a team
* can adapt quick­ly and handle stress well, espe­cial­ly in the intense period lead­ing up to and during the festival
