American Cinematheque

Programming & Archive Internship

Location: Hollywood, CA

American Cinematheque seeks a Programming and Archive Intern who will gain all-around experience at a nonprofit film arts organization while supporting collection preservation and accessibility, film programming, marketing and external relations. The intern will receive specialized training for archive responsibilities (50%), which will include archiving incoming audio/video/photos from recent events; performing quality control for newly edited videos; audio and video trimming and editing; and annotating recent interviews. For historical collection materials, the intern will also research topics pertinent to the collection. Additional responsibilities (10%) will include updating member records and prospecting. Among the programming and marketing responsibilities (40%) will be screening submissions for the annual proof-of-concept festival for emerging filmmakers as well as supporting the programming and marketing teams with projects as they arise. For their capstone project, the intern will program one screening.

Based primarily at AC’s headquarters in Hollywood, the intern will work remotely on Fridays (as do all AC staff). The schedule is 10:00am-5:00pm (maximum of 40 hours per week), with occasional weekend/evenings. This 10-week opportunity is slated for June 16 to August 22, although AC would consider a June 9 start.

Please send cover letter/resume/any questions to Isabella Scaffidi, Archive Department, at iscaffidi@americancinematheque.com by April 15.
