Be a Rockstar – get involved and help us launch! Love watching films? Passionate about the environment? Want to ‘make a difference’? Then be a part of our founding team and the launch of a dynamic, new annual event! In its first year, the San Francisco Green Film Festival is looking for dedicated, energetic, and green-minded volunteers and interns to help launch the festival. Positions range from 4 days during the festival, to part-time or full-time internships lasting several months. Whether you can tear a ticket, wrangle guests, or find raffle donations – we need your help! HOW TO HELP Please fill out the form below if you are interested in volunteering during the festival in March. We still have a few core areas where we need volunteer help if you are available in January or February. Specifically, we need help with soliciting in-kind donations, graphic design, and festival publicity and promotion. Please drop us a line at volunteer@sfgreenfilmfest.org if you can help. VOLUNTEER BENEFITS All volunteer positions and internships are unpaid, but have other benefits:

• A working environment with many green-minded colleagues who are also into films and the opportunity to build strong connections in the greater Bay Area green and film communities.
• A great resumé builder!
• An active contribution to our work for a greener future on planet Earth! We could not produce this first festival without your crucial efforts.

Inspired by a curiosity about our country’s careless habit of sending food straight to landfills, the multi award-winning documentary DIVE! follows filmmaker Jeremy Seifert and friends as they dumpster dive in the back alleys and gated garbage receptacles of Los Angeles’ supermarkets. In the process, they salvage thousands of dollars worth of good, edible food – resulting in an inspiring documentary that is equal parts entertainment, guerilla journalism and call to action.

Drill, baby, spill: On Sept 30 we're screening Jon Bowermaster's film SOLA: LOUISIANA WATER STORIES at the California Academy of Sciences 'Nightlife' special H2O edition. Jon arrived in Louisiana in July 2008 to make a film about the relationship between man and water, and could never have predicted his reportage would end with the planet's biggest ecological disaster - the ongoing oil spill polluting the Gulf of Mexico.
