From filmmaker gatherings and industry panels to VIP experiences and late-night celebrations, Indie Memphis special events bring filmmakers, passholders, and festival guests together throughout festival weekend.
Volunteers will help welcome guests, provide wayfinding, support event hospitality, and assist the Indie Memphis team with event-specific needs.
Each shift takes place at a different event and location, so please review the shift details carefully before registering.
