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 Office nationl du film - National Film Board, P.O.
