Translation is a complicated endeavor in any medium, but film subtitles provide their own particular set of challenges. In this talk, film scholar and translator Darcy Paquet will consider some of the practical, artistic, and cultural issues that arose while translating the subtitles for Bong Joon-ho’s award-winning Parasite, Park Chan-wook’s The Handmaiden  and other Korean films. Through specific examples and descriptions of the subtitling process, this talk will aim to highlight some of the ways in which meaning and emotional nuance can shift when moving across languages.
