All of these spaces are helmed by a member of the production team, the so-called location manager. As an assistant location manager you will assist the location manager in their daily duties. You will ensure the smooth running of the venue\u2019s film screenings including coordinating your fellow volunteers in scanning tickets, seating visitors, crowd control, keeping the screening rooms tidy, verifying the attendance of directors, guests and the Q&amp;A team, and liaising with the projectionist for testing and starting the film. The role requires a fair bit of responsibility and thinking on your feet, and it is a great way to gain work experience in event production.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-bCwfaz bXfCQS\"><strong class=\"sc-lmgQwP fBmOkc\">Profile<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"sc-bCwfaz bXfCQS\">Sociable and patient;<\/li>\n<li class=\"sc-bCwfaz bXfCQS\">Reliable team-player;<\/li>\n<li class=\"sc-bCwfaz bXfCQS\">Strong (English) communication skills;<\/li>\n<li class=\"sc-bCwfaz bXfCQS\">Flexibility and adaptability in quick-changing situations;<\/li>\n<li class=\"sc-bCwfaz bXfCQS\">Stress tolerance;<\/li>\n<li class=\"sc-bCwfaz bXfCQS\">Strong organisational skills.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"sc-bCwfaz bXfCQS\"><strong class=\"sc-lmgQwP fBmOkc\">Working hours<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-bCwfaz bXfCQS\">Full-time during the festival (around 8-10 days);<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-bCwfaz bXfCQS\"><strong class=\"sc-lmgQwP fBmOkc\">Extra<\/strong>: P<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">lease keep in mind that due to the nature of the role, we\u2019ll require you to take part in a second interview with our location producer as part of the selection process.
