Scenes from the city

A show by British artist Sarah Morris features a film shot during the 2008 Beijing Olympics that's never been screened in the capital before. Deng Zhangyu reports.

As Beijing grabbed the global spotlight with the opening of the 2008 Olympic Games, British artist Sarah Morris began to shoot a movie detailing scenes from local life during the event, which was later screened in many cities outside China. Ten years on, her film Beijing is finally coming to the capital for its first screening in the city.

"It's very strange that I never showed Beijing in Beijing. But I think it's the best time now," says Morris, a New York-based painter and filmmaker.
