VOLUNTEER
The Borneo Eco Film Festival (BEFF) needs outgoing and enthusiastic volunteers for both the festival weekend and our year-round programmes. Each year, BEFF brings together a dedicated team of volunteers to help celebrate the art of environmental cinema. Volunteers ensure the best festival experience possible for all of our guests as well as our partners and supporters. As a non-profit programme, we are grateful for the effort and considerable contributions made by our volunteers every year. We recognise the volunteers returning from years prior and welcome all the new faces for this year!
