About IFFR
IFFR works with an enthusiastic core team of 30 professionals with a shared passion for films, festivals and Rotterdam. Each year, in the lead-up to the festival, the team is expanded with over 100 temporary staff. IFFR furthermore recognises the value of providing opportunities for learning and therefore offers a variety of internships to students from different educational backgrounds.
We are ambitious, real go-getters and loyal towards one-another. The main language of communication within the team is English. IFFR highly values diversity of its team and aims to ensure it is a true reflection of our society. We henceforth strive to create and maintain a diverse staff composition and an inclusive work culture. We believe different perspectives will enrich our work. Regardless of ethnicity, economic or cultural background, religious beliefs, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status and whether or not you have a disability, we welcome applications from all who are interested in gaining experience in our organisation.
