DESCRIPTION:Surviving Translation takes an in-depth look at the ethics of
  translation – focusing specifically on the traumatic experiences of fem
 ale migrants. Starting with Charlotte Bosseaux’s research\, film directo
 r\, cinematographer and editor\, Ling Lee\, alongside Charlotte who co-c
 reated the film\, captured intimate conversations with migrants and lang
 uage professionals – weaving these together with poetic and evocative im
 agery to create an informative and moving study on this unexamined subje
 ct.\n\nSynopsis:\nRejeen Musa was working as a subtitler on Surviving Tr
 anslation when the words she was translating began to unlock painful mem
 ories from her own past. As a female Kurdish migrant and a translator\, 
 Rejeen became the lens through which the film explores the trauma and li
 fe-altering consequences of mistranslation. In addition to Rejeen\, the 
 film captures testimonies from women who fled their homelands in the hop
 e of building a new life in the UK. They speak candidly of the dangers a
 nd gender-based violence they suffered in their past and the arduous jou
 rneys they undertook to escape. They explain that – even after arriving 
 in the UK – they need to communicate via an interpreter to secure medica
 l care and apply for asylum\; a process which causes them to relive past
  traumas and recurring unequal power dynamics. With their futures held i
 n the balance – they must speak via a complete stranger who may or may n
 ot have their best interest at heart. To further illuminate this largely
  unexamined subject\, the film also presents testimonies from interprete
 rs\, subtitlers and translators who describe the – sometimes harrowing –
  challenges that they themselves face. Raw testimony\, poetic imagery\, 
 and academic research coalesce in this unique meditation on translation\
 , isolation\, and the meaning of ‘home’.\n\nBased on original research b
