Kinema Club Subtitling Consortium

[Abe-Nornes]

Just a thought: 

We can learn a cheap, easy form of translation from silent era Japanese
filmmakers. Rather than going to the expense of subtitles for foreign
films, the benshi performed a running translation of foreign films. This
could be an option for silent films. An English benshi performance could
easily be dubbed onto a tape's soundtrack, even with many consumer level
VCRs.
