The Art of Subtitling

An important part of film restoration today is the one most overlooked: subtitling. In recent years, new technology has allowed subtitles to be more clear and much sharper, both visually and textually. In this expanded version of an acclaimed talk first presented in New York earlier this year, Bruce Goldstein of Film Forum and Rialto Pictures will give a history of subtitling and his own insights as subtitle editor of over thirty classic films. Then Jerome Rudes, subtitle supervisor for over two hundred films, will demonstrate how new computer software has helped improve subtitles to an extent never seen before.
