Please join us Monday, December 12th for networking and a film! "Tradurre" is a sixty minute documentary that explores the profession of translation: the director juxtaposes the life of a translator against that of a baker and of a musician. All are portrayed as different forms of art. "Translators have to master not only a language but also what’s behind it: an entire culture and an idea of the world; that’s why we have asked ten translators to come with us in this journey through words and languages and take us to discover these worlds" (Culture Unplugged). In Italian with English subtitles.
