In the bustling world of cinema and art, where talent meets opportunity, May Liu, the 73rd descendant of royal family Liu’s from Han Dynasty, stands as a beacon of innovation, creativity, and philanthropy. A multi-faceted personality – director, producer, screenwriter, painter, actress, and television host – May Liu is a name that resonates beyond the conventional realms of entertainment and fine arts. Her latest endeavor has brought her to the prestigious shores of Cannes, not just as a participant but as a luminary whose work promises to captivate audiences and critics alike.

May Liu’s career is a testament to her relentless pursuit of excellence. As the founder of the Miss Economic World Pageant and President of the Superstar Art Foundation since 2019, she has consistently championed the confluence of artistry with humanitarian causes. Her role as a jury member at significant film festivals including Film Finance Awards in Cannes 2012 and the US-China International Film Festival in Texas in 2018 further cements her standing in international cinema.

Her accolades speak volumes about her contributions to culture and humanity; she has gained Presidential Volunteer Gold Award issued by president Joe Biden, notably being appointed with The Noble Chivalry Rank of Art & Humanity Consul by the Imperial Order of Culture and Peace. This recognition is not merely an acknowledgment but a testament to May Liu’s enduring commitment to leveraging art for global peace and understanding.

The film world has witnessed May Liu’s prowess through films like her first directing movie “Lost In 24” won more than 15 awards as best actress/thriller narrative in multiple international film festivals in Hollywood, NewYork, Rome, London, Milan etc. She clinched the “Best Screenplay” award for “Blooming Sisters” demonstrating her versatility across different facets of filmmaking, achieved with a low budget. Notably, her previous financial involvement with big budget blockbusters movies like “Escape Plan 2” “The Revenant” showcases her acumen in recognizing stories that resonate on a global scale.

May Liu’s philanthropic efforts are commendable; from donating her artwork “F1 Monaco” for supporting Ukraine to offering her portrait of HRH Prince Emmanuel of Savoy for aiding children through the Savoy Foundation. These gestures reflect her deep-rooted belief in using art as a catalyst for change—a principle that guides much of her work.

At Cannes this year, May Liu brings not only her extensive experience across various domains but also an unyielded passion for storytelling that transcends boundaries.

As viewers around the world await May Liu’s newest offering at Cannes with bated breath, we have witnessed her stunning red carpet look in Royal Han Robes at Cannes Film Festival, as well as the presentation of Superstar Awards Gala in Cannes for the 5th year humanitarian journey celebration with global artists.

Her presence at Cannes this year isn’t just about showcasing her new movie “Blooming Sisters”, it’s about bringing forth women stories that inspire, challenge norms, and provoke thought amidst global audiences, it is to bring the pride of culture and heritage that defines the variety of our world family.
