This year’s exceptional Palm Springs Film Festival could not have been possible without the hard work of over 600 volunteers. Six hundred! Immediate Past Chairman Harold Matzner would like to thank each and everyone one of them on behalf of the Board of Directors: you each truly contributed to an outstanding festival season.
Palm Springs locals and visitors alike sign up to help with the Awards Gala, theater operations, guest services, the ballot team, and more. They also get to enjoy the films themselves. Volunteers told NBC Palm Springs how they love getting to interact with fellow movie lovers and seeing stars on the Gala’s red carpet. Many volunteers return yearly, with many serving for fifteen, even twenty years.
