Looking China project, an annual event co-hosted by the Huilin Foundation and the Academy for International Communication of Chinese Culture of Beijing Normal University since 2011, aims to present Chinese culture to the world through the eyes of young foreign filmmakers and promote communication between young generations in China and overseas.

"So far, 951 short films by 1,009 youths from 102 countries have been created," said Gao Feng, executive dean of the Academy for International Communication of Chinese Culture at Beijing Normal University.

According to Long Wei, dean of the School of Journalism and Communication at Southwest University, this year also marks the seventh year of the project's landing in Chongqing.

From April 27 to May 2, filming will be carried out in Chongqing's Qijiang, Dazu, Yubei, Changshou, Jiangjin, Hechuan, Rongchang and Beibei districts. After a post-production and review, a film screening ceremony will be held in Southwest University on May 10.
