核心提示：北京导演胡伟（音译）和法国制片人朱利安·费耶特共同摄制的虚构短片《酥油灯》从2013年开始，已经拿了70个奖项。现在它要冲击奥斯卡的真人短片类奖项。

A family of Tibetan nomads — they're real, not actors — poses before an Asian backdrop in a new fictional short film.

在一部新的虚构短片中，一个XZ牧民家庭——真的XZ牧民，不是演员——在一个亚洲背景前拍照。

Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse and Snow White all peer from behind as an elderly Tibetan woman sits in front of the camera. "Do you have any other background?" asks the man who led her to her seat.

唐老鸭、米老鼠和白雪公主全都从后面凝视着这位坐在照相机前的老年XZ妇女。那位将她带到座位的男子问道：“你还有没有其它的背景？”

"Of course, bring the catalogue," says the weary photographer. He's already taken dozens of portraits that day.

已经在那天拍了几十张肖像的疲倦的摄影师答道：“当然，把样本拿过来。”

The old woman twirls her prayer wheel as the men flip through the packet. Soon the camera crew lowers a different backdrop, replacing Disney's Magic Kingdom with the historic Potala Palace, where the Dalai Lama once lived.

老年妇女转动着她的祈祷轮，而男子则匆匆翻阅着样本册子。很快照相馆的工作人员放下另一幅背景，取代迪士尼的奇幻王国。这幅背景是历史悠久的布达拉宫，达赖喇嘛曾在里面住过。

Almost immediately, the woman gets down on her knee and starts bowing to the image. She refuses to sit back down and face the camera so the photographer has no choice but to change the background.

几乎是在背景被放下的同一刻，这位妇女马上跪下，向图片鞠躬。她拒绝坐回去面对照相机，所以摄影师除了再换背景别无办法。

Is it real or is it a backdrop? It's a backdrop.

这是真的还是布景？这是布景。

In the end, the woman — in her red scarf and traditional Tibetan coat — poses in front of a sunny beach with palm trees. The photographer starts counting: "One, two, three" — and the shutter clicks.

最后这位妇女戴着红色的围巾，穿着传统的XZ服装，在阳光灿烂的、满是椰树的海滨前拍了一张照片。摄影师开始数道：“一，二，三”——然后按动快门。

That's one of the scenes in Butter Lamp, a fictional short by Beijing director Hu Wei and French producer Julien Feret. Premiering in 2013, the film has won 70 awards. It's now up for an Oscar in the live action short film category.

这就是北京导演胡伟（音译）和法国制片人朱利安·费耶特共同摄制的虚构短片《酥油灯》中的一个场景。该片从2013年开始，已经拿了70个奖项。现在它要冲击奥斯卡的真人短片类奖项。

The 15-minute film documents a young unnamed photographer who takes family portraits of Tibetans against backdrops of touristy sites. There's the Great Wall of China, a quaint European country home, Beijing's Olympic stadium.

这部15分钟的电影记录了一位未给出名字的年轻摄影师在旅游景点布景前为XZ人拍摄家庭合影的故事。这些旅游景点包括中国的长城、一个古色古香的欧洲乡村小屋，还有北京的奥林匹克体育馆。

The name of the film refers to a candle made of yak butter that Buddhists burn to mourn the loss of a loved one. In the film, a young man asks the photographer to bring a butter lamp to the real Potala Palace as an offering to his deceased mother. "But to me it's not just about his mother," Hu told the film blogIndie Wire. "It's also about

mourning the culture and traditions that are dying and disappearing."

该影片的名字指的是用牦牛油脂做的油灯，喇嘛们常常在悼念故人的时候点上这种油灯。在影片中，一个年轻人请摄影师带一盏油灯到真正的布达拉宫去供奉她故去的妈妈。”胡伟（音译）则告诉电影博客“独立制片电线”说：“对我来说这不仅是在悼念他的妈妈，而是在悼念即将逝去的文化和传统。”

While there isn't really a plot, Butter Lamp has a clear message about the struggles of Tibetans to preserve their heritage in midst of rapid globalization and modernization.

虽然没有真实的情节，但是《油灯》还是传递出一个清晰的信息：在快速全球化和现代化的大潮中，XZ人是如何尽力保存他们的遗产的。

"[Modernization] is kind of everywhere — in the way they are getting dressed, the fact that they have mobile [phones] and that they can go into the city to work," says Feret, who went to village after village with Hu to scout out locals. "You can also [see] their traditional way of living, like how they pray in the morning."

费耶特和胡伟（音译）曾一个村落一个村落寻访当地人。他说：“到处都在（现代化）——他们改变了穿衣服的方式，他们事实上也用起了手机，他们进城工作了。你当然也能看到他们的传统生活方式，比如他们早上是如何祈祷的。”

In each photo, the Tibetans, who are actual villagers and not professional actors, seem out of place and uneasy with the way they're told to pose. At times, when they're asked to wear Western-styled clothing, viewers can clearly see the Tibetans' discomfort. All in all, the film goes through nine backgrounds before the crew pulls the final backdrop up to reveal the actual location of the shoot: a breathtaking view of the vast hills and mountains in the Tibetan region of Sichuan, China, with an unfinished roadway running through.

在每一张照片里的XZ人都是真正的村民，没有专业演员。当被告知应该如何拍照时，他们都显得不得其所和不自在。人们时不时看到当XZ人被要求穿上西式服装时所表现出来的明显不安。总之，该影片演完九副背景之后，给出了最后一张背景，也是拍这部电影的真实所在地——中国四川藏族地区，那里有动人心魄的群山，还有一条正在修建的公路蜿蜒其中。

The idea for the movie was born in 2004, said Hu, when he started visiting nomadic families in a Tibetan village. He visited the village annually over the next three years to take family portraits. Each time the number of families had dwindled, from 20 to 10 to just three. That was the result of a China's "Build a New Socialist Countryside" program, he said. Since 2006, the program has forcefully relocated more than 2 million rural Tibetans to the city.

胡伟（音译）说拍这部电影的想法诞生于2004年，当时他正在XZ人的村落里拜访XZ牧民。这个村落从他开始拜访的那一年起每年都要拍一次家庭合影。每次家庭的人数都在减少。从20人到10人，最后只有三个人。他说这是由于“建设社会主义新农村”计划。自从2006年该计划强迫超过2百万农村XZ人移民城市。

Feret tells Goats and Soda that he and Hu were (pleasantly) surprised that the film was well-received in China, where officials are sensitive about any media depiction of the complex relation between the government and Chinese-occupied Tibet. The regime has previously banned movies, photos, literature and even celebrities that reference Tibet's call for independence. But Butter Lamp has managed to win several awards in China, including one from the government-run China International New Media Short Film Festival in Shenzhen.

费耶特告诉《公羊和苏打》他和胡伟（音译）对该影片在中国受到好评感到（很高兴）也很吃惊，因为中国官员对任何描写政府和中国占领的XZ之间复杂关系的报道都很敏感。中共政权先前会禁掉任何涉嫌提及XZ要求独立的电影、照片、文学形式，甚至明星。但是《油灯》已经设法在中国赢得了几个奖项，这其中包括一个在深圳举行的由政府组织的“中国国际新媒体短片节”奖。

The Oscar nomination was definitely not expected, Feret says. "We have a film that is not really traditional that documents people who may be far from European or American culture."

费耶特说在奥斯卡获提名是绝对没有预料到的，”我们的电影并非记录真正的传统，而且它里面的人物可能远离欧美文化。”

But they're pleased to be on Hollywood's radar. "It's a tricky subject," Feret admits. "And we always have to fight for the idea that this is a non-political film and that [it's] artistic."

但是他们还是很高兴被好莱坞发现。费耶特承认：“这是一个棘手的话题。我们常常不得不捍卫我们的想法。这部电影不关政治的事，它是纯文艺的。”

以下是来自联合国网友评论：

★If Tibet had oil you would see the "news" networks covering the plight of the Tibetan people. If they had oil you would hear the president address the need for a solution to the occupation of Tibet. If they had oil you and I would have heard the names of the TIbetan political prisoners and spiritual leaders they had "replaced". But TIbet doesn't have oil and there is a rich culture dying. And there are thousands of people who will never see their parents or homeland again. But no state is willing to help because Tibet doesn't have anything to offer and nobody is going to risk making an enemy out of China

如果XZ有石油，你就会看到“新闻”媒体是如何劈天盖地报道XZ人民的困境的。如果他们有石油，你还会听到总统发表演说，指出我们需要解决XZ被占领的状态。如果他们有石油，你和我可能已经听到XZ政治犯的名字了，而且这些政治犯早就已经“取代”精神领袖们了。但是，XZ没有石油，而有的只是多姿多彩的文化正在消亡。数千人将再也看不到他们的父母或故土。但是没有国家将提供帮助，因为XZ没有什么东西拿得出手，也没人愿意为此冒险和中国为敌。
