BIFF provides a bridge between exceptional emerging cinematic storytellers and the Beloit community. This year’s Narrative Showcase continues our time-tested tradition.
This year’s BIFF is proud to showcase a slate of screenings that represent some of the best of today’s best independent documentary filmmaking.
The short film structure presents some of the greatest challenges in filmmaking. We believe creating a truly inspiring short film is among the single highest forms of the craft.

Silent Film
This signature BIFF event features members of the Rock River Philharmonic under the direction of Maestro Robert Tomaro performing the accompaniment to one or more selected silent film classics. Since its inception the Silent Film Showcase has been a perennial favorite and ‘hot ticket’. So be sure to buy your tickets early.
Classic Film
Each year BIFF presents a seminal classic film for FREE for festival attendees, films that have exemplified over time, the true power of film. Films recognized for their societal impact and/or significance in advancing the art form. Films that if you’ve never seen you owe it to yourself to experience or share with a loved one.
Sing-A-Long
Get your hair done and get ready to sing along with John Travolta and Queen Latifah at the screening of Hairspray, the BIFF Sing Along film at Luxury 10 on Feb. 20. Half the show is the audience, dressed as their favorite characters and competing on stage for prizes. Free popcorn and pop and you can bet there will be dancing in the aisles.
Another of our BIFF traditions and a demonstration of one of our core beliefs. We celebrate the power of film to inform, educate, empower and move us. We’ve selected two truly exceptional films you owe it to yourself to experience. Right Footed and The Birth of an Artist.
The annual Showdown, offers an opportunity for film fans to discover the Lucas or Scorcese of the future. Films include features, documentaries and shorts. Most of the films are from the Milwaukee and Chicago areas, however they come from as far away as Door County, Green Bay and Champaign, Ill.
BIFF is taking over downtown for 10 days of films, festivities and fun. Check out the many activities we have before and after films this year. There’s something for everyone so be sure to join us for the best entertainment Beloit has to offer.
