APCLAI Subtitles

APCLAI Subtitles is a business project that stems from a cultural project. This results in a unique soul.

APCLAI firmly believes the most authentic and respectful way to bring cinematographic work to an audience who speaks a different language is subtitling. This is why during the Ibero-Latin American Trieste Film Festival, the association worked to subtitle the participating movies in the best way possible. And that’s how APCLAI Subtitles was born, and the peculiar origin is what makes it so incredibly unique:

Competence

APCLAI Subtitles subtitlers are young translators graduated at the Italian centre of excellence for graduates trained to become translation and interpreting experts, the advanced School of Modern Languages for Translators and Interpreters of the University of Trieste, specialised in subtitling thanks to seminars and special training provided by APCLAI

Experience

APCLAI subtitlers have the opportunity to refine the acquired skills right away with the specific training offered by APCLAI itself thanks to experience in the field within the Ibero-Latin American Trieste Film Festival, subtitling films, including some previews, that are addressed each year to a wide audience.

Quality

APCLAI Subtitles subitlers excel in both the translation and technical side. APCLAI Subtitles subtitlers work with their heart and professionalism to deliver film dialogues across borders and from one coast of the Ocean to another, so that each film retains all of its richness of expression.
