Friends of the festival
If you love Heart of Gold, we’d love to be friends. Our ‘Friends of the Festival’ are special people in town who support us through in-kind donations or a helping hand when we need it. From hosting international filmmakers in your home to dressing your shop window or front fence to celebrate ‘Gold’, our Friends are truly the heart of our Festival. Reach out if you are interested!
join our team of VOLUNTEERs
Since we began bringing cinematic joy to the community in 2006, volunteers have been the beating heart of our festival. They are the smiling faces ensuring that audiences and filmmakers alike have a truly unforgettable experience at the Heart of Gold International Short Film Festival and in the world of film.
become a SCREENER
Our community screeners watch the films submitted to Heart of Gold in groups or as individuals, and are the backbone of what makes Heart of Gold special on the film festival scene - with the ratings and reviews of all screeners affecting each film’s chance of being accepted into the festival. Community Screening takes place over six months, generally from March to August.
