The Crossroads Centre Beijing, in cooperation with the Netherlands and French embassies, is organizing screenings of Katia’s Sister, each followed by a Q&A with the film’s director and scriptwriter. The screenings will take place this evening (Mar 21) and tomorrow (Mar 22), and are part of the Third China Women's Film Festival, which started last September.

There are two screenings coming up in the next two days:
