LOU YE
Director, writer and producer LOU YE (1965, Shanghai) studied at the Shanghai Fine Arts School and the Beijing Film Academy. His debut, WEEKEND LOVER, won the Fassbinder Prize for best director at the 1996 Mannheim-Heidelberg Film Festival. Well-received internationally, SUZHOU RIVER earned Lou a 2-year filmmaking ban after it screened in Rotterdam without official permission. PURPLE BUTTERFLY screened in Competition at the Cannes Film Festival, as did SUMMER PALACE. Again, conflict with the Chinese authorities, resulted in a five-year ban. SPRING FEVER, shot secretly in Nanjing, screened in Competition at Cannes (2009) where it won the award for Best Screenplay.
