Opening Doors to a Global Audience: Translating & Subtitling Armenian Films
November 1, 2023 @ 5:30 pm - 8:00 pm +04
About the Event:
Armenian Cinematic Legacy, a project initiated by Hakob Nahapetyan (BAB ’19), aims to promote Armenian cinematography. Hosted on YouTube, this undertaking involves the translation of Armenian-language films into English and adding English subtitles, making Armenian cinematic heritage accessible to a broader international audience. Hakob embarked on this project in 2019 as a hobby. To date, he has translated and subtitled 10 Armenian movies and one cartoon. Films translated by Hakob include Soviet-Armenian classics like Triangle (Եռանկյունի) from 1967, The Men (Տղամարդիկ) from 1973, and The Big Win (Խոշոր շահում) from 1981․ Presently, Hakob is working on the 1982 classic film titled The Song of the Old Days (Հին օրերի երգը). In his talk, Hakob will delve into the project’s origins and the intricacies of translation and subtitling, as well as his forthcoming plans.
