Syllabus
  • The course evolves around a real-life project: preparing subtitles for the festival Cinema Mundi (http://www.cinemamundi.info/O-festivalu). Students will engage in groupwork on feature films to be shown during the festival in March. The class will meet to discuss possible approaches and practical issues encountered in the films to be shown as a part of the festival. For practical reasons (Oscar nominations), the semester will start with the basic subtitling concepts and constraints and preparatory work with films from last year's run of the festival, and then we will move to the task itself. Expect also reviewing translations for other groups.
