September 2026 – February 2027
Do you have a <3 for film, cinema culture and experimental moving image? WORM is looking for a Film Program Intern to join the Film department. This is an opportunity to gain hands-on experience in film programming and meet filmmakers, programmers and audiences from across the field. You’ll work closely with Film Programmer Tim Leyendekker and contribute to the development and presentation of WORM’s film programme.
Want to learn inside one of Rotterdam’s most experimental cultural institutions? At WORM, internships are not isolated within one department. While each intern follows a dedicated learning trajectory with a supervisor and develops role-specific skills, you’ll also become part of the institution as a whole. You’ll work across departments, meet different teams and contribute to daily office life.
This means that alongside your own responsibilities, you might help welcome visitors, answer phones, join collective assignments, participate in knowledge-sharing sessions, support public moments, and spend time working together around our shared office table.
All interns follow an onboarding process at the beginning of the internship to get to know WORM, the team and our way of working.
Practical requirements:
— Applicants should live in or around Rotterdam
— A BSN number and Dutch bank account are required
— We primarily offer internships to students enrolled in educational institutions, but we also welcome self-taught makers and students from non-formal education paths
— WORM follows the CAO NPF
— Internship allowance: €375/month based on a full-time internship (38h/week), compensated proportionally to hours worked
Your responsibilities:
— Help host screenings, presenters, filmmakers and guests
— Learn to work with Stager and maintain programme information
— Compile monthly information packages for PR and communications
— Edit promotional images and trailers
— Support communication between film and other departments
What we’re looking for:
— Interest in experimental film and moving image culture
— Comfortable working independently and taking initiative
— Strong organisational and communication skills
— Dutch and/or English speaking
