Work With Us

The New Zealand Film Festival Trust is a not-for-profit organisation that is only possible with the support of passionate volunteers and a small team of dedicated staff. Our head office is located in Wellington and is complemented by an Auckland team. We also have further support in Christchurch and Dunedin who help make Whānau Mārama: New Zealand International Film Festival a success in our key centres.

Thank you all volunteers who have already registered to be a part of NZIFF 2026. We’re humbled by the number of dedicated volunteers who return every year, as well as new faces who want to become part of the team.

Volunteer applications are now closed for the 2026 festival, and we will be in touch with those who have already registered in the coming weeks.
