In the seventies, Joris Ivens made a serie of documentaries about China :
How Yukong Moved the Mountains.
 
Many filmmakers ot the National Film Board, in Montreal, went to China in
the senteties and eighties. Many of them have parts about Beijing. I know
those by Georges Dufaux, Marcel Carriere. They are usualy available
through the ambassies or canadian consulates. You can also write to
