Get Involved
Volunteer with us.
Watch Africa Film Festival takes place 11–13 September 2026 at Chapter Arts Centre, Cardiff — and it runs on the people who show up for it.
Work alongside the festival team.
We’re looking for volunteers across a range of roles — from front of house and technical support to social media, photography and festival coordination.
You’ll work alongside the festival team, gain hands-on experience in film festival production, and have full access to screenings and events throughout the festival.
Find the role that fits you.
