With the mission of enriching Qatari society through transformative educational experiences, the Translation and Interpreting Institute (TII) at the College of Humanities and Social Sciences (CHSS), part of Hamad Bin Khalifa University (HBKU), will support several inclusive screenings this year’s Ajyal Film Festival.

The event organized by Doha Film Festival brings people together through screenings and events that inspire creative interaction and cinematic dialogue. This year’s event will be the sixth in a row that TII will provide audiovisual translation for selected films.

 The Translation and Interpreting Institute will support the screening of Ya Hoota, Elevate, Black Veil, and Beit Byoot for the upcoming Ajyal Film Festival.

TII further underlined HBKU’s participation in the Ajyal Film Festival by renewing its Memorandum of Understanding with the DFI. Signed earlier this month, the Memorandum confirms both organizations’ commitment to providing accessible films for the people of Qatar.

Amal Al-Malki, CHSS Founding Dean, said, “We’re looking forward to supporting another round of all-inclusive screenings at this year’s Ajyal Film Festival. Inclusivity has been at the heart of our cause at CHSS and TII from the very beginning and we are proud of our collaboration with DFI’s team.”

“While COVID-19 has necessitated changes to this year’s event, we nevertheless remain committed to providing high-quality audiovisual translation support. We are also determined to build on our already close relations with the DFI over the coming years,” he added.

The Ajyal Film Festival will take place from November 18 to 23 and will be held both online and at Lusail’s Drive-In Cinema, and Vox Cinemas, Doha Festival City.
