Volunteer for the Sunscreen Film Festival!
The Sunscreen Film Festival is organized and presented by the St. Petersburg-Clearwater Film Society, Inc., a not-for-profit 501(c)3 organization, which is dedicated to educating the public about the art of visual storytelling. With over 7,000 in attendance, we cannot do it without our volunteers.
Volunteer registration for the 2026 festival season begins January 1, 2026.
Join us for the 21st Annual Sunscreen Film Festival, April 30 - May 3, 2026 in beautiful downtown St. Petersburg, Florida. Volunteering is a wonderful way to meet new people and help bring this amazing festival to life.
Our volunteers come from every social class. Some are film lovers, and this is a great way to connect through films with filmmakers. Others enjoy a sense of community and want to give back while meeting new people. Students can volunteer to log hours towards college admittance1.
