Individual memberships are great for seasonal workers, freelancers, and film professionals.

You’ll have access to our online community, resource libraries, and discounts. Whether you’re looking for your next job, or want to keep up with current festival news, the Individual Membership is the way to go.

Organization memberships are great for groups of people, meaning you have more than one staff member and/or board member working for your film festival.

Exclusive perks for Organization members include the ability to create a Festival Profile for each festival run by your organization, displayed in our searchable public Festival Directory, and unique discounts.
