Ryan Camarda

Wisconsin musician Kevin MacLeod is the subject of "Royalty Free: The Music of Kevin MacLeod," a new documentary directed by Ryan Camarda.

Featuring more than 100 films available for on-demand screening, Q&A sessions with filmmakers, free drive-in outdoor screenings, and more, the Beloit International Film Festival makes the leap to virtual for its 16th season. The wide-ranging program features two films of particular interest in the Badger State: the drama Small Town Wisconsin, from Milwaukee director Niels Mueller, and the documentary Royalty Free: The Music of Kevin MacLeod, about a Green Bay native taking on the copyright system in a novel way, directed by Ryan Camarda. Tickets are $10 per film.

media release: BIFF is a ten-day tribute to the power of film and the excitement of independent film from around the world.  Local residents and visitors from across the nation fill venues, ranging in size from 40 to 400 seats for more than 100 films, and to meet scores of filmmakers who come from throughout the U.S. and as far away as Europe, Asia and Latin America.

BIFF celebrates filmmakers in all genres—features, documentaries, shorts— who enjoy the Beloit setting as much as the attendees do. BIFF promises crowds of interested viewers filling venues, questioning them at the films, and stopping them on the street to talk about their shared passions and projects in independent filmmaking.

For the 2021 Film Festival all regular films will be offered in an online streaming format. Individual tickets are $10/film. A festival pass is $120.

So, review the selection of films offered this season. On Friday, February 19, our 10-day film festival begins and tickets will be available for the entire ten days.  When you purchase your ticket the streaming BIFF video will then become available for viewing. (Why we can’t do presales)

    Once purchased you will have five (5) days to begin your viewing session.

    If you stop your session you have 48 hrs. to resume viewing the film.

    All regular Narrative Features, Documentary Features, Short Films and Music Videos are available for streaming.

    There are no in-person, on-site screenings this year

    Most of our regular special events this year are presented in socially distant drive-in and drive-through formats.

Lots of changes this year. Please bear with us. There are a LOT of wonderful films available for you this year as always.
