The film “Translate“ is the last part of a trilogy after “From one language to anothe“r and “Sacred language, spoken language“. It is a film-Babel where translators from different countries, each speaking in their own language, talk about their experience as transmitters of Hebrew literature written through the centuries: the Midrash, medieval Hebrew poetry written through the centuries, modern and contemporary literature. Translators speak with passion of the confrontation with a language that sometimes leads them to transgress the rules of their own language. For Édouard Glissant, “each translation today accompanies the network of all possible translations, from any language to any language“.
