(CRI) The dates have been set for this year's Shanghai International Film Festival, which will take place between June 17th and 26th. To meet the demands of movie lovers, the duration of this year's event has been extended to ten days from the previous nine.
One of the films being highlighted this year is documentary "Ganglha Metok," which follows three girls living in China's Tibetan-inhabited regions as they pursue their dreams.
