BEIJING – Some of China’s top helmers including Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Yang will gather in Yokohama for the second Chinese film festival, which will take the theme “Beijing” ahead of next year’s Olympics.

The week-long festival, which starts on Monday, is aimed at improving understanding among young Japanese about China and Chinese culture and will show six movies during the event. The festival will also show promotion footage for the Beijing Olympics and will stage an Olympics exhibition.

The Chinese Film Festival in Yokohama was first held in 2006, becoming the first formal Chinese film festival in Japan.
