Oliver Stone, director of "JFK" and other films that have courted controversy
for their political content, will shoot a short film to promote Beijing ahead of
the 2008 Olympics，organizers said on Thursday.
The five-minute film
would form a "promotional video for cultural exchange between Beijing and the
world" and be shown on television, in cinemas and on aircraft in China and
abroad, the organizers said in a statement.
"Today, many peoples of the
world can live in harmony, and China plays an
important role," Stone told the Beijing News.
"China and the United
States are two big countries that should have more interaction. My goal in
shooting this Olympic short film also lies in this -- the need to build a
harmonious international society."
The 60-year-old Oscar winner is the
third director invited to capture impressions of Beijing as it prepares for the
Olympics.
Italian director Giuseppe Tornatore, whose 1989 movie "Cinema
Paradiso" won an Academy Award for Best Foreign Film, and Oscar-nominated
Iranian director Majid Majidi will also release short films, organizers
said.
Stone toured Beijing this week to promote "World Trade Center," a
movie about the September 11 2001 attacks in the U.S.
Originally set for
release last month, "World Trade Center" and blockbuster "Miami Vice" were
delayed after China's culture ministry declared October a month for home-made
films, most of which featured patriotic and revolutionary themes.
