Application form for volunteers

Film Chelt 2026

Love film and love working with people who do? If so, why not help us deliver FilmChelt's film festival this Autumn? We're looking for switched-on, enthusiastic volunteers - and if you have a passion for cinema, even better - come and join us!

FilmChelt is a charity so we do this for love - but we can offer you unique opportunities to get involved in the daily running of the festival. You'll meet lots of people, make new friends and see some fantastic films for free while gaining valuable experience and the sort of problem-solving that carries weight on a CV!

You must be over 18 and live in the Cheltenham area, unfortunately we cannot provide accomodation.

If you love working at the festival, there may be opportunities to carry on throughout the coming year, when we'll be running monthly screenings and start planning next year's event. And if you've got the dedication, you could get involved in FilmChelt's key operational roles and help to shape future FilmChelt events.
