"The Scoundrels" was screened right after the opening ceremony, followed by a talk with the film crew. Five other films, including comedy "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Show" and tear-jerker "Long Time No Sea" will be shown in Beijing and Chengde in Hebei Province. Side exhibitions and forums will also be held.

After the Taiwan film show, a mainland film delegation will begin a tour of Taiwan.

The 11th annual cross-Strait film exhibition has brought nearly 150 films to audience across the Taiwan Strait over the past 10 years.
