据报道，美国著名导演、两届奥斯卡最佳导演奖得主奥利弗-斯通将拍摄一部和北京奥运有关的短片，来展现北京与世界文化的交流和沟通。此片将在国内外各电视台、影院以及航空公司的客机上播映。 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.
