A micro-movie exhibition focusing on youth co-launched by China and South Korea will screen next month, organizers announced on Tuesday.

The first Chinese-Korean "Share Your Dream" Short Film Festival, organized by multiple institutions and enterprises including the Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries, Central Newsreel and Documentary Film Studio, and Seoul-based CJ Entertainment & Media Group, will be held in Beijing from Oct 23 through 26.

The festival has already attracted more than 300 films.

Chinese director Wang Xiaoshuai will lead the judging panel, which will decide the winners of seven major awards at the festival. South Korean pop singer and TV star Yun Eun-hye will be the publicity ambassador.

"It will be meaningful for the two countries' long-term cooperation."
