Lưu Huỳnh (born Saigon[1]) is a Vietnam-born Vietnamese American film director. His family arrived in America when he was 16 years old.

He worked as a director for the Vietnamese diaspora variety show Paris By Night, which is banned in Vietnam. In 1997, a segment he directed accompanying a song by Trịnh Công Sơn generated much controversy among overseas Vietnamese because it allegedly depicted South Vietnam negatively during the Vietnam War.[2]

His 2007 film, The White Silk Dress (Áo lụa Hà Đông) won the Audience Award at the Busan International Film Festival in South Korea,[3] the Kodak Vision award at the Fukuoka Asian Film Festival in Japan,[4] and the highly coveted "Best foreign film" award at the Golden Rooster Awards in China.[5]

The White Silk Dress was officially selected to represent Vietnam at the 80th Academy Awards in the Best Foreign Language Film category.^{[citation needed]}

The Legend is Alive (Huyền thoại bất tử) was released in 2009 and has won six Golden Kite Awards, including a tie for Best Film.^{[citation needed]}
