DESCRIPTION:Surviving Translation + Q&A\n\nSurviving Translation takes an
  in-depth look at the ethics of translation – focusing specifically on t
 he traumatic experiences of female migrants. Starting with Charlotte Bos
 seaux’s research [ethicaltranslation.llc.ed.ac.uk]\, film director\, cin
 ematographer and editor\, Ling Lee\, alongside Charlotte who co-created 
 the film\, captured intimate conversations with migrants and language pr
 ofessionals – weaving these together with poetic and evocative imagery t
 o create an informative and moving study on this unexamined subject.\n\n
 Synopsis:\n\nRejeen Musa was working as a subtitler on Surviving Transla
 tion when the words she was translating began to unlock painful memories
  from her own past. As a female Kurdish migrant and a translator\, Rejee
 n became the lens through which the film explores the trauma and life-al
 tering consequences of mistranslation. In addition to Rejeen\, the film 
 captures testimonies from women who fled their homelands in the hope of 
 building a new life in the UK. They speak candidly of the dangers and ge
 nder-based violence they suffered in their past and the arduous journeys
  they undertook to escape. They explain that – even after arriving in th
 e UK – they need to communicate via an interpreter to secure medical car
 e and apply for asylum\; a process which causes them to relive past trau
 mas and recurring unequal power dynamics. With their futures held in the
  balance – they must speak via a complete stranger who may or may not ha
 ve their best interest at heart. To further illuminate this largely unex
 amined subject\, the film also presents testimonies from interpreters\, 
 subtitlers and translators who describe the – sometimes harrowing – chal
 lenges that they themselves face. Raw testimony\, poetic imagery\, and a
 cademic research coalesce in this unique meditation on translation\, iso
 lation\, and the meaning of ‘home’.\n\nBased on original research by Cha
 rlotte Bosseaux (co-creator\, co-producer)\nDirector: Ling Lee (editor a
