Founder and President Nino Simone and newly sworn-in Mayor of Beverly Hills Sharona Nazarian at the annual Awards Gala, held for the first time ever at The Beverly Hilton on Sunday.
The 25th Annual Beverly Hills International Film Festival® (BHFF) concluded its landmark season with a historic moment: a special proclamation bestowed by newly sworn-in Mayor of Beverly Hills Sharona Nazarian at the annual Awards Gala, held for the first time ever at The Beverly Hilton on Sunday.
“Beverly Hills, the city that's known around the world for its stars, but it's not just the stars on the screen, or the ones that light up Rodeo Drive, it’s the people who come together, create, inspire and build communities, like all of you that are here tonight,” remarks Mayor Nazarian. “As we celebrate storytelling, film has a unique power to bring people together across cultures, backgrounds and beliefs. When I was an immigrant girl coming to America dreaming of freedom, film gave me hope that anything is possible, and look at me now.”
Nazarian recently made history as the first Iranian, Jewish woman mayor in the U.S., and took to the stage just days after her swearing-in on April 1, 2025 - coinciding with the festival’s Opening Night. Learn more.
