The Beloit International Film Festival has a 10-day virtual festival starting Feb. 19 but some films will show outside at the Ironworks campus parking area.
Greg Gerard is the executive director of the film festival. He said the festival wants to help diminish the community’s hunger for outside entertainment.
The organization started presenting drive-in movies over the summer, which set things in motion for these upcoming showings.
“It s not that complicated. You get a projector, you get a player, you get the discs, and you put that inflatable screen up and you re pretty much good to go, Gerard explained.

Visit Beloit Spokesperson Stacy Bodnar says the kick-off February 9th will be a drive-thru event.
Bodnar says there will still be hundreds of great films along with Q and A session with filmmakers. It will all just be held virtually.
The 10 day event runs February 19th through the 28th.
