Volunteer Spotlight: Lola Claire
The Cinematheque
September 20 (Friday)
Volunteers are vital to The Cinematheque, from serving our famous popcorn to welcoming cinephiles from near and far to our cinema. Without their enthusiastic effort we simply could not deliver the exceptional film programming we’re known for. We ❤️ our volunteers.
Introducing …
Lola Claire
How did you become interested in volunteering at The Cinematheque and when did you start?
I’m a cinephile and I was excited to be exposed to films that are new to me while supporting an exciting artistic community.
What do you like most about volunteering at The Cinematheque?
The discourse with patrons and volunteers alike about the programming.
What’s your favourite memory of volunteering with The Cinematheque so far?
I’m a new volunteer! But so far I have felt such a warm and wonderful welcome.
If you were a movie, which one would you be?
Such a hard question! My favourite film is Persona, but if I were to be a film, I might be Funny Face.
What’s your go-to movie snack, and/or what’s your go-to popcorn topping?
Salted popcorn. Keep it classic.
Anything else you would like to add?
The Cinemateque is such a fantastic community pillar—providing an inviting gathering place for film-lovers new and seasoned.
Our team of volunteers plays an important role at The Cinematheque. They are the public face of our organization, selling you tickets at our box office and popcorn at our concession. They help in our film reference library and archive, deliver our program guides and posters, and assist with our Learning & Outreach programs and tasks in the office.
