Noor Iranian Film Festival

In 2007, Ghahremani and actor Anthony Azizi founded the Noor Iranian Film Festival, with the intent to showcase the culture and heritage of Iranians around the world, through cultivation and promotion of Iranian-American talent in Hollywood. The festival has been held annual every year since 2007, with the exception of a postponement in 2010. It was the first Iranian Film Festival to occur outside of Iran.[2][3]
