The festival lasts five days and is reportedly attended by more than 20,000 people a year. Venues include the AMPAS, Writers Guild, Chinese Theater and The Clarity Theatre. The festival winds up with the black tie awards ceremony.[1] In 2013 the festival was launched internationally with an event in Tokyo.[2]
The BHFF emphasizes awards to first-time filmmakers.[citation needed] On the final night of the festival, the jury presents its awards, including the Golden Palm Award for best picture, at a black-tie gala at the Four Seasons Beverly Wilshire Hotel.[2]
The festival organizers canceled the 2020 event due to the COVID-19 concerns and lockdown orders in place at the time.[citation needed]
