Sir Daniel Winn

At the 8th Asian World Film Festival (AWFF) held last year, the newly designed Snow Leopard trophies created by Vietnamese-American artist and master sculptor Sir Daniel Winn were on display before the awards night. They were impressive works of art that were presented to the AWFF winners for best film, best actor and best actress, along with special jury, audience and distinction awards.

It’s that time of the year, when Hollywood pays renewed attention to Asian cinema thanks to the Asian World Film Festival, now celebrating its 7th edition and steadily growing thanks to the tireless efforts of West African-born, Lebanon and France-educated Georges N. Chamchoum, the Festival's Executive and Program Director.
