🏢 About the local organisation

Quote: If the audience does not move to the cinema, the cinema moves to the audience.End.Because during hot and sunny summer days, there was no audience inside, the local cinema of Weiterstadt (KoKi) decided to move outside with one of their movies (Pink Floyd in Pompeji), in 1977. The Open Air Filmfest Weiterstadt was born. During the years more films had been shown, the festival lasted more and more days, the audience increased, the open-air screen got enlarged, the afternoon presentations got extended, the area was getting bigger. That means a lot of more logistic and man power is needed. Therefore, the help of the workcamp volunteers will be very appreciated.Here you can read more about the chronic of the festival: https://www.filmfest-weiterstadt.de/en/historyWhat kind of movies you can expect, you can see on the fb-page https://www.facebook.com/FilmfestWeiterstadt

💼 What the programme involves

The working hours may be sometimes more than 6h and weekend are also working days. That is why there will be a compensatory time-off in the first days of the camp.The volunteers will help to build-up the festival area with tents, light and sound equipment and decoration. The Open-Air Filmfest Weiterstadt runs from 13th until 17th August 2020. In these 5 days is also support needed: stay at the info point, keep the area clean, join the kitchen team and prepare food for guests and staff. Afterwards the participants will also help to re-build the area. During the festival you will also get in touch with the international film makers and German locals. Of course, you will also have time to watch some movies. Stay tuned on the project partners homepage and fb-page to get informed about the programme.
