Un Noël au Tibet
Christmas in Tibet
Jean-Baptiste Warluzel, Falk Van Gaver, Constantin De Slizewicz / France / 2006 / 39 min / Colour
Several thousand Tibetan catholics live in the Tibetan region of Yunnan, in southwestern China. Converted by 19th century French and Swiss missionaries, they have been persecuted as both Tibetans and catholics by Chinese communists. Despite this, they continue to observe their faith, even in the absence of priests. The film recounts the surprising experience of a Christmas celebrated in the heart of Tibet with the same rit- uals and rites used in Western Europe: the holy manger, midnight Mass, and Latin services. The protagonists share their happy memories of time spent with the missionaries, as well as terrible memories of their persecution in the Chinese gulags.
