CUSTOMER SERVICE TEAM

There is nothing like African hospitality, and it’s one thing PWFF intends to share with its delegates. Volunteers in this docket will handle the meet and greets, direct and answer any questions raised by attendees while representing PWFF in the highest standards possible.

EVENTS TEAM

This is the team that ensures that all the festival wheels and cogs are well oiled and running seamlessly. These are the event organisers who assist the Festival Planner, managers and logistics teams with the day-to-day planning and execution of festival workshops, parties and special events. They will work with venue staff and vendors.

FILM MODERATION

If you love Q & A’s then film moderation is for you. You will be required to keep the conversations flowing following the film screenings, fielding questions from the audience and deep-diving conversations with film writers, actors, producers and directors. Demonstrable experience is required for this position.

MARKETING AND PROMOTION

To raise the profile of the Festival, this team will engage in grassroots and virtual marketing through social media, design work and other projects to draw more interest to the festival.

PHOTOGRAPHY AND VIDEOGRAPHY

This is a dedicated team of photographers and videographers documenting every single aspect of the event. From the red carpets, fireside chats, dinners, panel discussions and workshops. They will need to have demonstrable experience in producing high-quality photo and video products.

TECH TEAM

The tech team will coordinate everything audio and technology at the festival from live streaming, projection equipment used in film screenings or panel discussions, to set up microphones and audio-visual aides under the keen supervision and guidance of the festival planner or designated supervisor.
