YANGON, March 29 (Xinhua) -- Documentaries made by a group of college students from Myanmar and China on China's Yunnan province were screened in Myanmar's Yangon on Friday.

Cultural Counselor of the Chinese Embassy in Myanmar Tian Shanting expressed his belief that the friendship between China and Myanmar could be strengthened through such training program.

U Thein Naing, director of Myanmar Motion Picture Development Department under the Information Ministry, said "the Information Ministry pledges to provide assistance if students from the School of Journalism, Yunnan University would come and join with Myanmar local youths for documentary portraying Myanmar's tradition and cultural heritage as well as beautiful sceneries."

Entitled "Beauty of Yunnan," "Myanmar Youths in Yunnan," "Animated Plants in Yunnan," "Technology in Your Sight," "Blossoming" and "Half A Month," the six documentaries made by the students from the two countries were screened at Yangon's China Cultural Center.

According to the program organizers, the Myanmar students first chose specific themes, then the students from the two countries set off to film the documentaries jointly in China's Yunnan province for a period of 14 days.

The program was a nice attempt of telling Chinese stories, said the organizers, adding the successful event can offer experience on more such cooperation in other southeast Asian countries.
