Actress Halle Berry presented the winners of the Chanel × Tribeca “Through Her Lens” competition on a crisp fall evening in New York City, emphasizing that an anti‑violence film that portrays a “female way of dealing with violence” is “something the world needs right now.”
The ceremony took place in a rustic Greenwich Village penthouse, where emerging writers, directors and producers mingled with established industry figures while hors d’oeuvres and a steady supply of lemon water were served.
“Anti‑violence film and portraying a female way of dealing with violence is something the world needs right now,” Berry said while handing out the awards.
“Through Her Lens,” a collaborative initiative between Chanel and the Tribeca Film Festival, aims to spotlight and support emerging filmmakers, particularly women, by providing mentorship, funding and a platform for their work.
The event highlighted the festival’s ongoing commitment to amplifying diverse voices in cinema, with Berry’s remarks underscoring the timely relevance of stories that confront violence from a female perspective.
