Last November, the official Weibo of "Beijing International Film Festival (BJIFF) Volunteers” received many consultation messages such as "When will the registration channel be accessible? I’m so afraid to miss it”. The eager and anxious expectation was certainly accompanied by the tacit commitment. Since the volunteer recruitment was launched on December 19 last year, we have received the best wishes from not only the students studying mathematics, diplomacy and viola playing but also the friends majoring in film, drama and visual communication. Those who enter for the BJIFF volunteer may only hope to welcome their idols, witness the wonderful scene or just do nothing. The freedom to make any decisions is just an attitude itself. 

 

Under the guidance of the China Film Administration, the Beijing International Film Festival (BJIFF) is sponsored by the Beijing Municipal People's Government and China Media Group to gather the world’s outstanding film achievements and promote film exchanges and cooperation with the principle of "sharing resources and win-win future”. Since its establishment in 2011, it has been featured as the most influential large-scale international cultural activity held in Beijing every year with the unique "3M" style of "Master, Mass and Market”. The logo of BJIFF is a windmill with seven-color leaves, indicating that the film is the seventh form of art. The five perforations on the leaves represent the five continents and the seven colors are inspired by the rainbow. Each leaf adopts the iconic symbol of Beijing, the silhouette of the Temple of Heaven, as the basic shape. 

 

Volunteers, as an indispensable part of the BJIFF, will get involved in all the work of the festival including organization, preparation and execution, which is not only the first step to keep up with the films but also a practice of personal growth.

 

Since the access of volunteer applications, the official Weibo of "Beijing International Film Festival Volunteers" has received a lot of consultations. Now, the Q&A is specially listed as follows:

Beijing is the center of the national film industry while the BJIFF serves as the platform to promote sales and communications.
