Student Internships (unpaid)
The Digital Media Team is BAM/PFA's internship program for those interested in learning how digital media can support the educational mission of a museum and film archive. UC Berkeley students are given preference, but students from other institutions and members of the community are also eligible for internships. Interns engage in still- and moving-image production, building a media archive for long-term retention of digital assets, and serving out images and video on the BAM/PFA website. The efforts of the Digital Media Team are supported by the museum's new Digital Media Lab, which houses a state-of-the-art digital video editing system and a high-end scanning station. For information on joining the Digital Media Team, contact Liz Sizensky at lizs@berkeley.edu.
Internships in the PFA Library and PFA Curatorial departments are available for UC Berkeley students. Each semester the PFA Library offers Film 197A. Students spend three hours per week helping to maintain PFA’s documentation files, and attend one lecture per week on research strategies and resources in cinema studies. Each semester the PFA Curatorial department offers 197C, a curating internship of three hours per week, culminating in the students curating a program of student-made work from either local film schools or the UC Berkeley campus. The library internship is open to Film Studies majors, who can enroll through Telebears; instructor approval is required for non-majors. The curatorial internship is open to Film Studies and Digital Arts majors (other students may apply); instructor approval is required.
Volunteer Opportunities
The PFA Library works closely with volunteers, who help with gathering film-related materials and maintaining the library collection. Contact Jason Sanders at jsand@berkeley.edu to sign up for the next volunteer training session.
BAM/PFA also has volunteer opportunities in the Visitor Services Department. For more information or to apply, contact Visitor Services Coordinator Katy Kanfer at kkanfer@berkeley.edu, or ask for an application at the museum's Bancroft admissions desk.
The University of California, Berkeley is committed to diversity in its student body, faculty, and staff. We invite all qualified people to apply.
