17 years ago, I made a documentary called The Invisible Subtitler about the unseen people who translate cinema for audiences across languages.
Back then, subtitles were often overlooked. Today, they’re everywhere — cinema, streaming, accessibility.
Yet the craft remains invisible. Funny how the words we read can shape everything we see even in 2026 with so much digital content around us.
Back then the cinema world was still full of Dvds and Cinema when I made the documentary.
