Calling All Volunteers & Filmmakers — 2026 DC Independent Film Festival Happy Hour!

For over 25 years, the DC Independent Film Festival (DCIFF) has been run entirely by volunteers committed to showcasing independent films in our nation’s capital. Now it’s your turn to become an essential part of our film festival team. Come to our Happy Hour this week and find out more — whether you want to volunteer on our amazing planning team, or are interested in submitting a film for consideration!

Bring a friend, sip something good, and learn how to get involved! FIRST DRINK’S ON US!

Tuesday, September 23, 6:00 pm

OR

Wednesday, September 24, 6:30 pm

We’ll talk about opportunities for long-term volunteer staff, how to submit your independent film to DCIFF, and other nitty-gritty on how to get involved with the next year's Film Forum (Feb. 11-16).

We’re looking for passionate, film-loving people ready to make next year’s festival unforgettable. Whether you’re a filmmaker, a first-time volunteer, or a seasoned festival hand, this is your chance to connect, learn, and find the perfect role.
