Beloit International Film Festival

The 2026 Student Filmmaker Workshop

The Beloit International Film Festival is offering a hands-on filmmaking workshop
for students in grades 8–12. Participants will work with professional filmmakers to learn the fundamentals of storytelling, directing, acting, producing, and editing —while creating an original short film.

The completed film will premiere at the Student Filmmaker Showcase on Thursday, March 26, 2026 at 5:00 PM at the Beloit College Powerhouse.

Learn from professionals. Create a film. See it on the big screen. Spots are limited—register early

OLD COPY — HIDDEN

The Beloit International Film Festival is offering a unique opportunity for students to collaborate with professional filmmakers and learn the art of filmmaking.

The program will cover storytelling, directing, and editing, among other aspects of the craft, and will culminate in a viewing of all the short films created by students

The program will consist of five sessions and will be led by Beloit filmmakers Marjorie and Brenton Driscoll of Peer Canvas.

A viewing of the students’ films will be scheduled for family and friends, and one lucky film will be awarded the Student Filmmaker Showcase BIFFy Award!

This is a great opportunity for young filmmakers to learn from professionals and hone their skills. Don’t miss out!
