Question: Are the directors of both films Lulu By Night and Seventeen Years (Film) from the same country?

" Seventeen Years" was screened at several international film festivals where it garnered numerous accolades, including the Director's Award at the 56th Venice Film Festival. The film is co-produced by Keetman Limited (China) and Fabrica (Italy), as presented by Keetman and the Xi'an Film Studio. It premiered concurrently with Zhang Yuan's documentary feature, "Crazy English" in the 1999 Locarno International Film Festival. "Seventeen Years" is seen, at least by some critics, as Zhang Yuan's move away from his "Bad Boy" image, an image that was cultivated after run-ins with Chinese authorities with his previous films, "Beijing Bastards", and the homosexual-themed "East Palace, West Palace". In contrast, "Seventeen Years" (and "Crazy English") was produced under the aegis of the Chinese bureaucracy, though some editing of the film was required before it could be released.
