CFF Needs You! 

We're Expanding Our Volunteer Film Reviewer Pool

The Cambridge Film Festival is building on the brilliant work of our existing team of reviewers, and we’re now looking to welcome more volunteers to help shape this year’s film selection.

Whether you’ve reviewed with us before or are keen to get involved for the first time, this is your chance to be part of one of the UK’s most prestigious film festivals and play a fundamental role in our programming process.

Volunteer Role: Film Reviewer

We’re looking for film lovers to join our growing pool of reviewers and help us assess the films submitted to the Festival.

What you’ll do:

• Watch and review films online

• Rate key elements of each film out of 10

• Provide a short written summary of your thoughts

Why it matters:

Your reviews help us sort through the many submissions and highlight standout films. The Programming Panel uses this feedback to shape the final Festival selection.

What you’ll need:

• A genuine passion for cinema

• No prior experience required, though knowing the Festival is a bonus

• A couple of hours a week to watch and review from home

What you’ll get:

• Your name featured on the Festival’s thank-you screen, shown before all screenings

• Complimentary tickets to selected Festival films (subject to availability)

• The chance to help shape the Festival’s programme and discover exciting new talent

When and how:

• Reviewing is entirely online and runs through to the end of July

• Time commitment is flexible – a few hours a week is ideal

• Apply now to join the pool and start reviewing
