The Festival

The heart and soul behind Utrecht’s most vibrant queer film festival, we are a collective of cinema buffs dedicated to showcasing the richness of queer storytelling.

We’re on the lookout for a marketing and content manager to help us amplify the festival’s reach and boost our visibility. We’re quite the small team, so you’d be making a big difference. If you’re a passionate queer film enthusiast with a talent for creating engaging content and a knack for versatility, then this your chance to shine!

The Gig

Your creative prowess will be instrumental in generating engaging graphics, videos, and written posts that resonate with our audience. Whether you craft persuasive newsletter copy, utilize your WordPress skills to maintain our website, or edit visuals in Illustrator, your jack-of-all-trades personality will seamlessly integrate with our team.

This role is volunteer-based, with a volunteer compensation at the end of the festival, and a commitment of 4-6 hours/week, increasing leading up to the festival.
