Astra Film volunteers must be young people willing to work in a team, open to learning new things and facing unpredictable situations. The AFF volunteer experience contributes to the development of communication skills, quick finding of solutions for unforeseen situations, development of specific skills for organizing a cultural event and enrichment of cinematographic knowledge. Astra Film volunteers will be part of the festival's core team, will be in direct contact with guests, filmmakers and directors and will have access to AFF30 events (film screenings, concerts, exhibitions, parties).

The 30th edition of the longest-running film festival in Romania will take place between October 15-22, 2023, in Sibiu. The films selected in the official AFF 30 program will compete in four competitive sections (Emerging Voices of Documentary, Central and Eastern Europe, Romania and DocSchool). In addition to the competitive sections, the official program also includes non-competitive sections, curated selections, thematic sections and special programs.
