The Maysles Documentary Center is accepting applications from college students and graduates for internships in our Cinema, New Media, and Development departments and a focused Graphic Design internship. Interns work on a part-time, minimum 2 days/week basis for three to six months. All internships at the Documentary Center require interns volunteer four nights a month to work a screening at our movie theater (either taking tickets or projecting movies).
