The English Studies Department of CITY College, University of York Europe Campus has successfully completed its collaboration with the Thessaloniki International Short Film Festival. Current students and alumni of our MA in Translation and Interpreting completed an internship subtitling forty films which featured in the TiSFF 2021 and did a praiseworthy, professional job!

The experience was made all the more excellent because of the specific cohort of participants who were always so willing to take initiative and face challenges, serious about their work and stubbornly committed to learning and solving problems. Michaella, Maria, Theofile, Maria, Stella and Antonia, kudos on doing a fantastic job!” Dr Kelly Pasmatzi What students who participated in the project said about their experience: “Subtitling for the Thessaloniki International Short Film Festival as part of my internship from the English Studies Department-CITY College, University of York Europe Campus was an awesome experience! Despite encountering some challenges, I enjoyed the whole procedure immensely! What I found mesmerising was the fact that not only could I watch the film since I am a cinephile but also practise and enhance my translation skills. I would like to thank Dr. Pasmatzi for all her guidance and support and CITY College for providing us this unique opportunity.” Michaella Gerogioka "Participating in the Subtitling Internship for the Short Film Festival has been such a rewarding and creative experience for me.

In his talk he said that this is made possible using a brain–computer interface (BCI) - a direct communication pathway between the brain and the computer. He also discussed how brain-computer interface became a reality, by looking more closely at the technological advancements in available devices such as predictive models. Watch Dr Klados’ talk
