French veteran plans China film

Jacques Perrin, a legendary maker of nature documentaries, is preparing for an ambitious project in China. Wang Kaihao reports.

In the cinematic world, Jacques Perrin is almost the alternative term for nature documentaries. The 76-year-old French director is known for his works like Winged Migration (2001) and Oceans (2010).

"Perhaps, what I am doing is the most interesting job in the world," he said at the Beijing International Film Festival earlier this month.
