Making an effort to cultivate teachers and improve the basic education ecosystem, an annual project that uses movies as art education tools in rural areas recently made its first stop in Southwest China's Yunnan province.

The project, titled "Taking Movies to the Countryside", is jointly organized by Beijing Normal University and the China Film Archive.

On July 18, a performance showcasing how the project has benefited local students was held at Qiubei Middle School, affiliated with Yunnan Normal University, in Wenshan Zhuang and Miao autonomous prefecture.
