The Avengers. The Seven Samurai. Ocean’s Eleven. The Fellowship of the Ring. The ANU Film Group Committee. All are legendary and formidable teams – but only one of them has a vacancy that you could fill!
We currently have a vacancy on the ANU Film Group’s committee of management, and are looking for someone to join the team.
Normally comprising a group of 20 volunteers, the ANUFG committee is responsible for the day to day running of the Group – from selling memberships and managing at screenings to broader tasks like programming films, promoting the group, running our trivia nights, and everything else in between.
If you are interested in volunteering to fill this vacancy, please write to us at info@anufg.org.au with a brief introduction about yourself and what you could bring to the running of Australia’s largest film society. We will be accepting expressions of interest until FRIDAY 18 AUGUST at 11:59 PM.
Please note that this is a volunteer position, and committee members are not paid for their time – but it’s great fun, and there are plenty of other perks too. And if you wish to know more, don’t hesitate to get in touch.
