Short Q&A around admin skills, organisation and interest in film. Availability to work in the evening and overtime also discussed (some awards projects were taking place). Got in touch via email found on website to get the interview - included a long passage on interest in the industry.

I was interviewed a month ago in August and did not hear back from them so assumed there was no offer. The first interview was quite informal with two members of staff - questions about past work experience, interests in film, career aspirations and why you are suitable for the internship. They called me back two months later quite out of the blue in regards to a internship opportunity which started ASAP. One of the staff was from the previous interview. I was informed it would be full time with possibility of working till late and on a weekend day because of London Film Festival. They did not mention it was unpaid (I guessed and also read the reviews here) and nothing about expenses which I guess you had to ask yourself. It sounded like a fun and interesting opportunity which you would definitely learn from but the intensity of it as well as it being unpaid was quite off-putting. I asked whether I could commit to 4 days so I had time to work but they said it was strictly full time and all hands on deck. I recently just finished an unpaid internship and personally did not want to dive into another one so it felt mutually agreed on that it was not going to work out. I think if you have some money to keep you going for the month long duration or are a student, definitely go for this internship!
