The Calgary Cinematheque is looking for an administrative support person to oversee our regular program of screenings. Tasks will include arranging for film ratings, liasing with distributors, overseeing print traffic, distribution of publicity materials, assembling screening notes, preparing box office reports and keeping the membership list current.

The contract will run from September, 2010 to May, 2011. We hold one to three screenings a month. The work will total ten hours a month, and pay twenty-five dollars an hour.

The Calgary Cinematheque is a non-profit organization dedicated to the art of cinema. We screen international, Canadian and classics of world cinema that would otherwise not be shown on Calgary screens. Screenings are accompanied, whenever possible, by introductions and by question and answer sessions with film artists and scholars.

Applications should send an email expressing their interest in the positions and relevant experience. Excellent communications skills are an asset. The job requires access to a vehicle, to pick up and deliver posters and other materials. Interested persons should send an email by August 26 to Jim Ellis, President of the Board, at
