The BIFF Experience
Filmmakers Attending
Sure, we can all enjoy great film at the theater, at home, on our computers and mobile devices. Where though do we get the opportunity to actually meet and speak with the filmmakers about the film we’ve just experienced together? For most of us, much our film experience is often solitary and passive. But not here.
Here at BIFF, it’s a shared experience with other audience members and frequently with attending filmmakers. How cool is that? It’s one of the very best aspects of the Beloit International Film Festival experience.
And our guest filmmakers? BIFF is routinely complemented for its smart and engaged audiences. That’s you!
You’re a big part of why filmmakers particularly enjoy screening their films at BIFF.
See “Filmmaker Attending” below for which films will have filmmakers in town. Be sure to stick around for the Q&A following the screening. You’re in for a special treat.
