Internship: Submission, viewing & research (Febr. - Aug.)

Internship – Film Submissions & Programming Support

For our short film festivals INTERFILM and KUKI (08–15 November 2026), we once again expect over 3,500 film submissions from around the world. The submission process is a central part of the festival’s work and requires a high level of organization and logistical coordination before the films can be viewed and evaluated. For this role, we are looking for several interns for three-month internships.

Tasks & Duration:

• Film data management in the database

• Digitization and archiving of films

• Film research with a focus on regional and thematic priorities

• Communication with international filmmakers

• Film viewing and evaluation in screening teams

• 3 months, part-time (3 days/week), from 16 February to 15 May / 17 May to 30 August

*Unfortunately, these internships are unpaid. Therefore, current enrollment as a student (or being in an orientation phase) is very important. Further collaboration in the preparation and implementation of the festivals is possible.

Requirements:

• Enrolled student or in an orientation phase

• Good German and English skills

• Interest in film, cinema, and festivals

• Structured and focused working style

• Team spirit and self-organization

We particularly encourage applications from BIPoC, people with disabilities, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and people with experiences of discrimination.

If you would like to be part of the team, please send your current CV (PDF) and a short statement of motivation to Javier Weisson (javier.wd@interfilm.de). We look forward to hearing from you!
