BHFF is dedicated to showcasing and promoting some of the most auspicious non-studio films and screenplays to the entertainment elite. Designed to bridge the world of premiere independent cinema with the renowned community of Beverly Hills, the festival is an entertainment event with world class screenings at The Clarity Theatre, nightly theme parties, seminars and a charity benefit. We welcome filmmakers and the Beverly Hills community to share in the celebration of art and culture in this wonderful city of international acclaim. The festival will conclude with a black tie awards ceremony and a special dedicated honorary award for one of the best films of the year acknowledged by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
