R.M.N. or as it has been translated for its italian release Wild Animals – Animali Selvatici is, maybe, the most universal film, romanian director Cristian Mungiu has ever made. It is set in a multiethnic village in Transylvania, Romania, during the 2019–20 holiday season.

The original titles comes  from the Romanian acronym for nuclear magnetic resonance, as the film is “an investigation of the brain. A brain scan trying to detect things below the surface”. It is also a depiction of our inner struggle, the one with our wildest side, the survival instinct fighting whoever ( or whatever) we feel doesn’t belong. The italian release of Animali Selvatici is  July  the 6th.

Media For All 10 aims to map the changing profiles of stakeholders in the field of Audiovisual Translation and Media Accessibility, practice and research, and elicit the many complex relations in which human agents engage. A clear shift can be detected in this domain, (re)exploring the role of the concept of “agency” in translation today. In this context, Joss Moorkens, Associate Professor at the School of Applied Language and Intercultural Studies at Dublin City University and one of the keynote speakers at Media For All 10, tells us more about the role of technology, which has been a key catalyst for the development of the field, both of Audiovisual Translation and of Media Accessibility.
