BIFF Invites Submissions from Student Filmmakers

The Beloit International Film Festival is on a search for great filmmakers at the start of their careers. If you are a Martin Scorsese in the making, or if you know of one, BIFF wants to celebrate their work at the 2014 Student Filmmaker Showcase.

This is a special program where BIFF highlights the talent of young filmmakers in the region. It allows them the opportunity to receive feedback on their films from award-winning filmmakers, network with local (and international!) filmmakers, and be a part of a prestigious international film festival.

An Opportunity For Teens

This is a great opportunity for teens, whether experienced in filmmaking or just starting to develop an idea.The program is designed to encourage young filmmakers so each film submitted will be critiqued by established filmmakers. The films will be shown during BIFF 2014 and the winning filmmakers will be announced and recognized on stage during the BMO Harris Biffy Awards event on Feb. 20 at the Eclipse Center.

Submission Detail

The Student Showcase is open to filmmakers, ages 12-18, and is completely free to enter. The submission deadline is January 24. Late submissions will be accepted until February 10. It is part of the Youth at BIFF program which is made possible with the generous support of the Beloit Foundation, the Neese Family Foundation, Fairbanks Morse Engine and KIDS FIRST!
