GSFF wishes to recruit a trustee with an interest in film, particularly with experience in audience development and/or the Scottish arts or film sectors.
GSFF is the leading event of its kind in Scotland, hosting an inclusive community of filmmakers and film lovers, showcasing ground-breaking works of visual storytelling. We nurture, promote and inspire diverse forms of cinematic expression, in Scotland and around the world. In everything we do, we aim to be critical and curious, welcoming and accessible.
GSFF was formed in 2008, initially as a project of Glasgow Film Theatre, and became an independent Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO) in August 2019 (Charity Register No. SCO49556). We are currently run by a board of six trustees, a non-voting company secretary, one permanent staff member (who is also a trustee) and a seasonal team of short contract staff and freelancers.
As we are a registered charity the role of trustee is unpaid. Our board meets approximately 4-5 times a year for 1-2 hours at a time, and currently meetings are held online. In the event of an in person meeting, we will reimburse travel expenses and meet any access needs.
We are committed to equality of opportunity for all and strive to be inclusive and representative while recognising that this is currently not yet reflected on our board. We therefore particularly encourage applications from people with experience of structural disadvantages and from underrepresented backgrounds and communities.
