Welcome to the 2024 Prison City Film Festival!

PCFF can’t run without an army of fantastic volunteers. And, while this work is unpaid, we’re confident that it will be worth your while.

Not only is it a good way to see an important side of the independent film industry, but you’ll have an amazing opportunity to meet like-minded people, and network with industry professionals.

We will recruit volunteers, who, when not on duty, will have access to all of the regular screenings, presentations, and galas at the Old Town Theatre throughout the course of the four day event. There will be a ton of screenings, VIP Presentations, and a spectacular Gala at this year’s PCFF.

IMPORTANT: Please note that you must be at least 18, and able to commit to a minimum of 6 hours over the course of the four (4) day event to be considered. The event is Wednesday February 28, through Saturday March 2, 2024.
