Director Statement

导演阐述:这是一部以藏族牧民一年放牧为题材的纪录片电影,导演以客观记录的视角捕捉放牧人的生活方式和生活状态,人与牛、牛与山、山与人的关系。本片是纪录片,色彩影调上保持了真实客观的风格,还原生活本质、展现了原汁原味的藏民放牧人的生活。勇敢、坚韧、善良的放牧人与自然和谐相处也得到了大自然的庇佑和馈赠。这样的牧民生活随着时代的发展已经逐渐消失了。长达一年多的跟踪拍摄,制作团队经常躲在角落尽可能不去干扰主人公,主人公忘了拍摄者的存在。拍摄者也成功的做了隐形人。导演以最真实最朴实的方式带领观众走进神秘的香格里拉牧场,完成一次神秘之旅。

Director's interpretation:This is a documentary about tibetan herders’ one year's grazing life.The director recorded their way of life and the relationship among people,cattle,and the holy moutain in an objective perspective. This film takes a realistic approach so it can capture the essence of the tibetan herders’ lifestyle.——They are brave,strong,kind and live in harmony with nature,and the nature has rewarded them in its own way.Unfortunately,with the development of the times,this lifestyle is disappearing.In one year’s shooting,the shooting crew had successfully made themselves invisble.In this way,the director will take the audience on a realistic journey to the tiebtan pastures and have a close experience of the mysterious Shangri-la.
