Being a volunteer at the Dublin International Film Festival is a unique opportunity to get involved in the inner workings Ireland's leading celebration of cinema. It's an amazing way to meet others who share a passion for film and to network within the arts, festival and filmmaking industries. Volunteers also gain exclusive access to screenings and events, providing a rare behind-the-scenes perspective on the festival. 

​

Each year, we are thrilled to welcome volunteers from a wide range of backgrounds, spanning all ages, nationalities and walks of life. Their generosity and commitment are critical to the smooth delivery of our events, and without their energy, enthusiasm and dedication, the festival wouldn't be possible. 

​

We will begin recruiting volunteers for the 2026 edition of the festival towards the end of this year. Check back here and be sure to subscribe to the DIFF newsletter for updates!​
