🎬 Don’t miss one of our powerful closing films at BIFF—TODAY!

Wisconsin filmmaker Steve Burrows returns home to share his award-winning documentary *Bleed Out*—a deeply personal, eye-opening story that has sparked conversations nationwide.

What begins as a son’s journey to understand what happened to his mother after a routine surgery turns into a gripping, real-life investigation into the American healthcare system. Emotional, shocking, and impossible to forget.

This is more than a film—it’s a conversation starter, a call to action, and a story that stays with you long after the credits roll.

Come support a Wisconsin filmmaker and be part of this unforgettable screening.

📍 Wilson Theater (Mayer Hall)
⏰ TODAY at 5:00 PM

🧀🎬 This one’s for the cheeseheads… and the film lovers.

In Wisconsin, we don’t just like cheese… we celebrate it. So it only feels right that THE BIG CHEESE is getting the full VIP treatment at BIFF 2026.

Join us for a screening that’s as gouda as it gets—complete with a special pre-film tasting experience from Blakesville Creamery (Port Washington, WI). Come early, sample some incredible local cheese, then stick around after the film to chat and ask questions with the Blakesville team.

Because let’s be honest… everything’s better with cheese—and a great movie.

🗓 Saturday, March 28, 2026
⏰ 5:00 PM (cheese tasting starts at 4:30pm
📍 Wilson Theater @ Beloit College

🎟 Grab your tickets now: https://beloitfilmfest.org/films/big-cheese-the/

Bring your friends, bring your appetite, and bring that Wisconsin pride. This is one screening you don’t want to miss.

🚗 Parking Reminder for Wilson Theater @ Beloit College

We know parking can be a little tricky during BIFF, and we truly appreciate everyone’s patience as we welcome full houses to Wilson Theater.

A quick (and important) reminder:
❗ Please DO NOT park on the road along the hill leading up to Mayer Hall
❗ Be mindful of all posted parking signs and restrictions

If the lot behind the buildings on the hill is full, we recommend:
✔️ Parking near the Brown Swiss
✔️ Parking on College Street and taking a short walk to Mayer Hall

Beloit College Security really does not want to ticket BIFF audience members—but if illegal parking continues, they may have to begin enforcement.

Let’s all do our part to keep things safe, smooth, and stress-free so we can focus on the films 🎬

Thank you, and we will see you at the theater!
