JOIN THE REFRAME PROGRAMMING ADVISORY COMMITTEE
The ReFrame Film Festival is a community celebration of documentary film and media art, with a lens on social and environmental justice. The festival is based in Nogojiwanong/Peterborough, Ontario and Programming Committee applicants will ideally be located in the region.
The Programming Advisory Committee is a volunteer committee of 7-9 members including the Lead Programming Advisor and Creative Director. The committee works with the Creative Director to identify and develop programming themes in the creation of a cohesive festival program which meets the mission and mandate of the organization.
Committee members review and discuss films in at least two of several categories: Art & Culture; International Human Rights; Climate and Environmental Justice; Health, Metal Health and Ability; Indigenous Sovereignty & Rights; LGBTQ2S+ Rights; Gender Equality and Justice; and Anti-racism, Power and Liberation. Committee members are expected to watch films, engage in critical conversations and provide as broad a spectrum of insights as possible. As such, selections will be made to ensure a diverse group of individuals comprise the committee. Film industry experience is not required. We are looking for passionate people who have a connection to the topics being discussed.
The committee will form in June 2025 and disband in October 2025. Committee members should expect a time commitment of approximately 25 hours a month during this time and ideally be available for in-person meetings in Nogojiwanong/Peterborough. Committee members are required to watch films in a timely manner, adhere to the committee terms of reference, and maintain confidentiality in all matters.
