His standout films include “A City of Sadness,” “Cyclo,” “Lust, Caution,” “Hero,” “Infernal Affairs,” and Marvel’s “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.” Up next, catch him in Ildiko Enyedi’s “Silent Friend.”
Festival chairman Ando Hiroyasu lauded Leung as a perfect fit, celebrating his stellar career and massive fan base in Japan. Get ready for a spectacular festival under Leung’s dynamic leadership!
