The Houston International Film Festival is also the first festival to receive awards for the work of world-renowned directors such as Spielberg, George Lucas and Ang Lee – known as the “Birthplace of Star Directors”. Mainland Chinese filmmakers such as Lu Chuan, Zhou Xun and Yang Mi have all won awards at this festival. The festival’s screenings and awards will be held in August this year.
