Not only do we have the Best Volunteers, they are also the most fun! So is our Director 😉
We offer cinematic experiences throughough the year with twice monthly screenings through our Screen One and Dinner + Movie programs, our two annual festivals with Reel Stories in February and the Barrie Film Festival in October, Education Programming in January and Special Presentations held throughout the year
Close to 100 volunteers help us all year long with box office, ticketing, ushering, promotion and special events. Because of them, we are able to offer such exceptional and diverse year-round programming. We cannot thank them enough for all that they do.
Not sure what we would do without this crew! If you are one of the over ten thousand people who came out to our Outdoor Film Series this summer, you would have seen these guys. You would have also seen a number of volunteers talking about upcoming films and events. We had a great season this year and really look forward to the 2017 program.
Being a fervent Prince fan, Carole, one of our long standing volunteers, was a perfect choice to introduce the evening’s film Purple Rain. She also co-headed the team pulling together the party for our Music + Film night.
When you come out to your next BFF screening, please give a special THANK YOU to the volunteer at the box office, the volunteer at the pass table and the two volunteers happily scanning your ticket, they are the backbone of our organization.
For more information on volunteering for BFF, please contact our volunteer coordinator, Regina Pehr at volunteers@barriefilmfestival.ca
