Edward Yang (born November 6, 1947; died June 29, 2007), along with Hou Hsiao-Hsien and Tsai Ming Liang, was one of the leading filmmakers and artists of the Taiwanese New Wave and Taiwanese Cinema. He won the Best Director Award at Cannes for his 2000 film "Yi Yi" ("A One and a Two"), and was honored with many other accolades from other prominent international film festivals. Wikipedia
