On January 29, 2013, the Asian Heritage Network of the New York Times Company
sponsored a talk with filmmaker Ang Lee, director and producer of the "Life of
Pi," which has been nominated for a multitude of awards, including a number of
Academy Awards, and already won some others. It is Lee's top-grossing film to
date. Ang Lee has already won two Best Director Academy Awards: in 2006, for
“Brokeback Mountain,” and the 2001 Academy Award for Best Foreign-Language
Film for “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.” The first photo here shows the
silhouettes of Ang Lee (center), Mike Hale (l.), one of the paper's film/TV critics,
and David Magee (right), screenwriter of "Life of Pi" (which was also nominated for
Best Adapted Screenplay), onstage at The Times Center, watching a film clip from the
visually-stunning "Life of Pi" starring Indian actor Suraj Sharma. The second image
is of Lee responding to a question. PHOTOS BY @MIRIAMBERKLEY
