The Camden International Film Festival is seeking volunteers for their 2009 festival. If you, or someone you know loves non-fiction storytelling, or is just looking for a taste of the film industry, please email us at volunteer@camdenfilmfest.org.

About the Camden International Film Festival:

The Camden International Film Festival (CIFF) is dedicated to presenting a snapshot of the cultural landscape through the year's best non-fiction storytelling, connecting audiences with the industry's emerging talent to discuss documentary film as an art form, a catalyst for change and as an outlet for the independent voice.

Taking place from October 1#4, 2009, the Camden International Film Festival will screen over fifty documentary features, shorts and a Made in Maine showcase at the Camden Opera House, Bayview Street Cinema, Farnsworth Art Museum and Strand Theatre with Q&As from filmmakers, live music, art exhibits, panels and other special events. CIFF 09 is made possible in part through the generous support of the Maine Arts Commission, the University of Maine, Down East Magazine, Camden National Bank, MovieMaker Magazine, MPBN, Paolina's Way and Unity College.
