The New England Festival of Ibero American Cinema (NEFIAC) internships are designed to provide work-related learning experience for students in one or more areas of the Festival. Our internship program allows a student to gain professional experience in an area of interest, including sponsorship, grants, marketing, outreach, membership, business, and operations, etc., with responsibility and supervision that facilitates learning. Participating in a NEFIAC internship will provide students with a unique understanding of ibero america. Interns gain practical work experience while building skills in various film festival platforms. An internship helps students to combine theory with practical work experience. Interns will develop professional work habits as well as view various work settings and differences in work styles. The intern will be working at the offices of the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies, which is located at the Watson Institute for International Studies at Brown University.
Advantages of internships
