The volunteer experience

The volunteers of the Sitges Festival live a unique experience, collaborating with one of the most important film events in the world.

The festival gives you the chance to attend the screenings and activities that year after year make up the event's program, see renowned artists up close who present their films and meet more than a hundred people who are part of the team with a denominator in common: the cinema. Volunteers perform tasks voluntarily on a non-profit basis. The Festival is not responsible for any expenses that may arise (transportation, accommodation...).
