LATEST NEWS !

Today is the International Translation Day!

International Translation Day is celebrated every year on 30 September on the feast of St. Jerome, the Bible translator who is considered the patron saint of translators. The celebrations have been promoted by FIT (the International Federation of Translators) ever since it was set up in 1953. In 1991 FIT launched the idea of an officially recognised International Translation Day to show solidarity of the worldwide translation community in an effort to promote the translation profession in various countries (not necessarily only in Christian ones). This is an opportunity to display pride in a profession that is becoming increasingly essential in the era of progressing globalisation.

Q150 Celebrates Film Across the State

The Q150 Film Festival got underway in September, starting at Bowen, the first of nine communities across Queensland to host the event. The film festival will also visit Weipa, Normanton, Biloela, Roma, Toowoomba, Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast and Brisbane.
Each town will host a two-night Q150 Film Festival presented by Warner Bros. Movie World on the Gold Coast. The festival will screen films made in Queensland or by Queenslanders, including Oscar-winning Happy Feet, Nim’s Island filmed in North Queensland and 48 Shades, produced and made in Brisbane and based on Nick Earls’ book. As well as the screenings, there is a Festival Workshop program with specially designed, hands-on activities aimed at building film appreciation through exciting and unique moviemaking experiences. While Warner Bros. Movie World will bring some red-carpet movie magic from the Theme Park to the events, PFTC has also lent support by co-coordinating some of the logistics and directing the films programming. The Q150 Film Festival ends in December 2009.
