(The Interpreter)

Content: The Interpreter follows Amjad, a Syrian refugee in the UK, as he retrains to become a community interpreter, returning to the very system that once interrogated him. Revisiting his own asylum interviews, Amjad navigates the charged dynamics between interpreter, displaced and authority. Through staged re-enactments, the film interrogates the ethics of neutrality and the interpreter’s role as both voice and barrier, where translation becomes an act of subversion and connection.
