Last year, you may recall, the Meihodo Film Festival honored Juliette Binoche. This year another iconic star, Michael Douglas will be doing double-duty as their Guest of Honor / Advisor. The Meihodo Film Festival, now in its fourth year, is an all streaming international short film festival focused on young visual artists...
Douglas will speak at the closing ceremony at 3 PM EST February 22nd on YouTube where he'll also name the Grand Prize winner. He says:
“I’ve had the good fortune to work in the film business for decades, and I’m both humbled and excited to connect with young filmmakers at the Fourth Annual Meihodo Festival. From a young age, thanks to my father, I’ve had a front-row seat to watching films be made and it’s a pleasure to not only share some of that wisdom but also learn from a new wave of artists.”
This year's theme is "Dreaming Big in the Digital Revolution." In addition to the Grand Prize there will be gold, silver, and bronze winners for each of the festival's three categories: Drama, Documentary, and Music Video. Tan Dun, the Oscar-winning composer of Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon will be judging the Music Video competition. The finalists in those categories will be announced at the end of the month and then available to stream on Meihodo's YouTube Channel.
