Take Two translates the day’s headlines for Southern California, making sense of the news and cultural events that affect our lives. Produced by Southern California Public Radio and broadcast from October 2012 – June 2021. Hosted by A Martinez.
In the Oscar-nominated short film, "Butter Lamp," a photographer takes staged pictures of nomad families in Tibet in front of artificial backdrops like a big city or Disneyland.
But the film is, in many ways, more about the interesting little moments before the photo is taken.
It provides a look at how tradition and modern times merge in that country, sometimes seamlessly, sometimes with difficulty.
Writer/director of "Butter Lamp" Hu Wei and producer Julien Feret tell Take Two that they are incredibly proud to work on the first Oscar-nominated short film from China.
