Join us to watch an exciting array of four films from across the world, newly subtitled into English by University of Exeter MA Translation Studies students, or recently subtitled professionally. Choose any one or more of the films that you are interested in, but be sure to attend our roundtable discussion with film-makers, academics, translators, film restorers and MA students who subtitled the films. Our films come from three continents, Africa, Asia and Europe, span four languages, Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin), Italian and Spanish, and range from the 1960s to the present day. Our two documentaries and two feature films all share a focus on gender, from an early example of Spanish feminist cinema, to a Moroccan 1980s classic, a Chinese LGBT documentary, and a recent documentary about Italian second-wave feminists:
