Join us for a conversation with filmmaker Ang Lee, recipient of the MSPIFF44 Milgrom Tribute, on his decades-spanning career and mastery of the craft of directing.

This in-person conversation will be moderated by Deirdre Haj, MSPIFF Advisory Council Member and Vice President of Art House Convergence.

The MSPIFF44 Milgrom Tribute, named in honor of MSP Film Society founder Al Milgrom, showcases artists whose talents put a distinctive stamp on every one of their films, who have been instrumental in promoting a higher regard for the art of cinema, and who have consistently made and continue to make critical waves at a global level. Taiwanese-born director Ang Lee, personifies this description.

Mr. Lee was recently recognized with a DGA Lifetime Achievement Award and his films have been honored with numerous Academy Awards, including four for CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON (2000) and three for BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN (2005), which was produced by Minnesota’s own Bill Pohlad and River Road Entertainment, and for which Mr. Lee became the first person of color to win the Academy Award for Best Director.

Additional directing credits include: THE WEDDING BANQUET (1993), EAT DRINK MAN WOMAN (1994), SENSE AND SENSIBILITY (1995), THE ICE STORM (1997), LUST, CAUTION (2007), LIFE OF PI (2012), among many others.
