Guest-related roles
Filmmakers, artists, journalists and other guests from all over the world travel to Rotterdam each year to take part in the festival.

Additionally, please note that most guest-related roles involve a selection procedure and candidate list. This means that, in addition to the general introduction meetings, you will be interviewed by the coordinator of the team to which you're applying.
