The 4th CTILS Symposium was held last thursday with talks and discussion in English, Chinese, Italian and Spanish. Students from our MA programmes provided simultaneous interpreting, translated all the materials related to the presentations and provided live subtitling. Well done to all involved!

'Clear Shadows' - with integrated and creative subtitles by Dr Ramos Pinto - was screened on Sunday. In discussion after the film, the audience response to the subtitles was very positive and one person asked if we could have all films subtitled like this, so let's get to work! 🙂
