🏆 Back by popular demand!

Join us for a special return screening of CYCLE, the recipient of BIFF's Power of Film Award, a film that has continued to earn recognition at festivals across the country.

CYCLE pierces the silence surrounding police violence in America through the story of Ty'rese West, an 18-year-old Black teenager killed by police in Racine, Wisconsin. Created in close collaboration with Ty'rese's family, the film reclaims his story—not as a statistic, but as a beloved son whose life and legacy deserve to be remembered.

📅 Saturday, July 25
🕒 3:00 PM
📍 Beloit College Powerhouse - 850 Pleasant St., Beloit, WI
🎟️ Tickets: $10 (FREE for BIFF Film Society Members)

🎬 Special Q&A with the filmmakers immediately following the screening. This is your opportunity to hear firsthand about the making of this powerful documentary and the impact it continues to have.

This is more than a film—it's a conversation that matters. Bring your friends, spread the word, and let's pack the house for an unforgettable afternoon.
