Contributing Writer & Film Critic

Video Librarian is a trusted film review resource for libraries, schools, and institutions. We offer curated recommendations, professional development articles, and expert insights to help educators, librarians, and programmers build meaningful film collections and host impactful non-theatrical screenings. Our platform is shaped by a diverse team of staff writers, librarians, educators, and film critics.

About the Role

We are seeking a part-time, remote Film Review Writer to join our team. In this role, you’ll watch and analyze films—primarily documentaries—and write thoughtful, in-depth reviews. Beyond traditional critique, our reviews emphasize the educational and institutional relevance of each title, helping our audience understand how a film can be used in classrooms, libraries, or community screening spaces.

Responsibilities

  • Watch and critically evaluate assigned films
  • Write clear, engaging, and well-structured reviews (typically 300–500 words)
  • Offer contextual insight into how the film can be used by educators, librarians, or programming staff
  • Meet regular deadlines and work independently
Qualifications
  • Demonstrated skill in film analysis, critique, and review writing
  • Strong knowledge of film history, genres, and current industry trends
  • Excellent writing and editing skills with a keen eye for detail
  • Background or interest in journalism, film studies, education, or library science a must.
  • Passion for cinema, especially independent and documentary film
  • Familiarity with Trello or other task management tools is a plus
Compensation We pay $30 per article to start with the opportunity to earn up to $45.

Please submit a short bio and a writing sample with your LinkedIn application. We look forward to hearing from you!
