Filmmakers at the BIFF

The Berkshire International Film Festival is all about filmmakers. We celebrate their films, connect them to colleagues and ideas, and recognize their achievements throughout their careers.

Education

Each year, in the days leading up to our festival, we host our Filmmakers Summit to the benefit of the filmmakers who attend the BIFF. The 2024 Filmmaker Summit will take place on May 29 and 30. Details will be announced in April 2024.
