Werner Herzog will receive this year's directing award, and Ed Harris gets the Peter J. Owens acting award. Peter Chan's Perhaps Love will open the festival (the first Hong Kong feature to ever do so in the festival's nearly 50-year history) and the closing night film will be Robert Altman's A Prairie Home Companion.
