ABSTRACT
Among private audiences, guests and juries, film festivals have new subtitling requirements. These challenges are amplified by the new cinematographic and audiovisual media supports. We intend to take an approach to the specifics and what seems to remain constant among the concerns that continue to link the work of event organizers, translators and subtitlers.
