Matt talks to Sophie Lewis about translating two books by the French writer Noémi Lefebvre. They cover the practical aspects of translating, literary tone, and what happens when you try and use an English colloquialism for an American publisher.

You can buy both the books we spoke about, Blue Self Portrait and Poetics of Work, from Les fugitives in the UK - https://www.lesfugitives.com/authors#/noemi-lefebvre/

And through their website you can read some of Sophie’s writing on translation as well - https://www.lesfugitives.com/authors#/sophie-lewis/

Matt speaks to the artist Dina Kelberman about her 2019 film ‘The Goal is to Live’.

The feature length film is made entirely of clips from the Canadian TV series ‘How It’s Made’, and we discuss the process of making the film, including the soundtrack made by musicians Rod Hamilton & Tiffany Seal. We also geek out about ‘How It’s Made’ more generally, and talk about its relationship to the capitalist production processes it purports to explain.
