Zhang Yimou

(born Nov. 14, 1950, Xi'an, China) Chinese film director. He began his film career as a cinematographer, and his work for Chen Kaige's The Yellow Earth (1983) helped launch the “Fifth Generation,” filmmakers who brought back sensuality and emotion to Chinese movies. Zhang made his directorial debut with Red Sorghum (1987), which starred Gong Li in the first of her acclaimed roles. Noted for his technical mastery, he also directed films such as Ju Dou (1990), Raise the Red Lantern (1991), The Story of Qiu Ju (1992), To Live (1994), and Hero (2002).

Award-winning Chinese director Zhang Yimou has engineered another career shift with his latest movie -- a comedy remake of a Coen brothers thriller with a theme song rapped by the filmmaker himself.
Zhang Yimou, the acclaimed Chinese director behind "Hero" and the Olympics opening ceremony, was once an edgy filmmaker whose work was frowned upon -- and sometimes banned -- by authorities.
The first screening is on Saturday, October 3 of Not One Less by Zhang Yimou, followed by Stephen Chow's Kung Fu Hustle which was nominated for both a BAFTA award and a Golden Globe.
