Awards Ceremony Postponed

In light of the recent death of Mahsa Amini and the current situation in Iran, Farhang Foundation is postponing this year's Farhang Film Festival Awards Ceremony until further notice. We congratulate all of this year’s nominees. All cash prizes will be distributed as planned. However, a celebration for the incredible filmmakers selected in this year's competition deserves a more appropriate time. During this period of mourning and unrest, our thoughts are with the family and friends of Mahsa Amini and the people of Iran.

All ticket buyers will be issued an automatic refund by the UCLA box office.
