This year's festival is scheduled for July 15-19, 2004. Preparations for the festival are currently underway, and the organizing committee is on the lookout for volunteers who would like to lend a hand.
Below you will find information on our next orientation session for volunteers. Interested in trying your hand at helping put together a film festival? Please take part!

Next Orientation Session for Festival Volunteers
When: May 30, 2004 (Sun) 4:00 pm
Where: Tokyo
- We plan on holding one orientation session per month.
- We are also constantly on the lookout for staff willing to help us out on the actual days of the festival.

Areas We Need Your Help In
- Sponsorship / Publicity
We are currently looking for a few people to help in our fund raising efforts by visiting businesses that may be interested in sponsoring our festival. Experience in this field is a major plus, but anyone who is interested and motivated would be a welcome addition to our Sponsorship team. We also need publicity staffs as the days of TILGFF is approaching.
- General Affairs
General Affairs volunteers handle a variety of work that crops up throughout the festival preparation process. At the moment, that includes such duties as preparing questionnaires, meeting minutes, and reports. Assignments will be based upon your experience and abilities. Anyone with a strong sense of responsibility is welcome.
- Tickets
This involves selling tickets and keeping track of ticket sales. Advance tickets are sold prior to the festival at sales outlets. This is also an important job from the standpoint of assessing the number of attendees for each showing. People with time available in daytime of weekdays would be especially nice.
- Program Guide Distribution
We are looking for volunteers to help us distribute our festival's official program guide. A lot of hands are needed for this task. Volunteers will go to pass out pamphlets in Shinjuku 2-chome, at movie theaters, etc. Persons who can drive or provide a car are particularly welcome.
- Translation / Interpretation
We run our film festival in two languages, Japanese and English. Volunteers in this area translates texts in our website or various kind of documents, and interprete for people in need in the film festival. Persons who can translate from Japanese into English, as well as native English speakers are particularly welcome. We have already closed the acceptance of volunteers for subtitle translation this year.
- Web
This involves putting together the festival website, which is the centerpiece of advertising for our festival. We are looking for people who are fairly familiar with the internet and website creation.
- Party
We decided to hold a party on someday in the festival days. We are looking for volunteers who are interested in or have the experience of organizing an party.

Volunteer orientation sessions primarily involve a brief explanation of the festival and the work involved as well as getting to know one another.

Anyone interested in attending should contactlgffvol@mail.goo.ne.jpWe will reply with information on the location of the meeting and other details.
