The Beloit International Film Festival (BIFF) will celebrate its 21st anniversary in 2026. From the beginning, BIFF has been grounded in a deep respect for the filmmakers who share their creative work with us. Each year, more than 100 filmmakers attend the festival, receiving a warm welcome in Beloit’s charming downtown and enthusiastic support from our engaged audiences. The festival showcases over 100 independent films from around the world, alongside a variety of special events. All visiting filmmakers receive free access to the entire festival, including four all-access passes per film for cast and crew.
