BELOIT鈥擝eloit sure loves its movies, and filmmakers sure seem to love Beloit right back.
From Feb. 23 to March 3, more than 100 of the most creative minds in independent cinema will trek to southern Wisconsin to show their wares at the Beloit International Film Festival. Hidden from Hollywood鈥檚 gaudy glitz and glamour, this intimate get-together has become a front-line favorite for movie purists seeking feedback on their work.
鈥淔ilmmakers come into town and see audience members in coffee shops, on sidewalks and at other films,鈥 said former BIFF executive director and former board member Marty Densch. 鈥淎udience members, likewise, are excited to see filmmakers in town because it gives them a chance to to talk to them face to face. This is what film festivals are for.鈥
In addition to the many movies being screened throughout the city, a series of special events also is planned. These include: a vintage radio play, a free workshop with BIFF artist-in-residence James Choi, a sing-along to the film 鈥淕odspell,鈥 a celebration of women in film, and screenings of the silent film 鈥淭he Kid鈥 starring Charlie Chaplin (with accompaniment by the Beloit Memorial High School jazz orchestra) and 鈥淢ary Poppins鈥 starring Julie Andrews.
Returning features include 鈥溾 a series of nightly musical performances throughout town, and the n, a friendly competition between filmmakers from the two states.
