About the Role

Help Shape the Future of Ottawa’s Creative and Independent Film Community

 

Digi60 is seeking passionate, forward-thinking volunteer board members to help guide the festival into its next chapter.

 

Digi60 is a working bord of directors on our way to achieving a governance board by 2027. We received our first annual operating funding in 2024 and have had continued growth and healthy funding since the pandemic. In 2025 we are undergoing a strategic plan and are shaping the future of the festival.

 

Over the next 2-3 years, we’re focused on expanding our mentorship and education programs - especially for emerging filmmakers from underserved communities - empowering them to create bold, meaningful work.

 

If you're ready to make a lasting impact on Ottawa’s independent film scene, we want to hear from you!
