About PFS:
Transforming Philadelphia through the power of film. As the producer of the Philadelphia Film Festival and creative force behind the Film Society Center, Film Society Bourse Theater, and Film Society East Theater, the Philadelphia Film Society (PFS) raises awareness of film as an important art form in Philadelphia and serves as a vital piece of the city’s arts and culture community.

The PFS Festival Internship is an opportunity for young adults ages 18-24. In this 10-week internship (Sept. 8 - Nov. 15), interns spend 3 weeks learning about the Philadelphia Film Society, through a series of research objectives, informational interviews, job shadowing, and attending PFS programming, events and meetings. PFS Festival Interns will gain hands-on experience in festival operations, outreach, and events through the 34th Philadelphia Film Festival. Working primarily with the Education and Community Department for PFS, interns will gain practice organizing and promoting events, managing needs for special guests, content creating, video editing, handling badges and operations, assisting with field trips, communicating and meeting with partners, data tracking, and/or managing day-of needs for Festival-related and general PFS programs. Students will leave with experiential knowledge of how film can be used to inspire, educate, challenge, and entertain while bringing together various communities in and around Philadelphia.
