Colorful balloons and children. This seems like another version of Iranian Director Majid Majidi's "Children of Heaven".
But this time Majidi plans to see the five Olympic colors through the eyes of a six-year girl in Beijing.
Over five minutes, more than 1,000 children in the movie fly colored balloons from five famous sites in Beijing including Tiananmen Square and the Temple of the Heaven. Adults look on, wishing good luck to the Beijing Olympics.
The movie will be screened with four others at the end of this month including short films by Oliver Stone and John Woo. Audiences will have a chance to see several perspectives of Beijing before they visit for the Olympics this August.
