Taiwan directors Ang Lee and Midi Zhao were recently honored by London-headquartered International Broadcasting Convention and Federation of Film Critics of Europe and the Mediterranean, respectively, for their artistic talents and filmmaking skills.

Oscar-winning Ang Lee was awarded the 2016 International Honor for Excellence by IBC—organizer of the world’s leading annual broadcasting industry exhibition—at a ceremony Sept. 11 in Amsterdam.
