00:00 Wait, Listen, If (A poem by Ryan Van Winkle) انتضر، اسمع، ربما قصيدة لرايان ڤان وينكل A film poem based on a poem by Ryan Van Winkle, coordinator of the Iraq translation project. قصيدة مصورة (فيلم) مستوحاة من شعر – انتضر، اسمع- ربما رايان ڤان وينكل و هو المنظّم لمشروع الترجمة بالعراق. Ryan Van Winkle: I wanted to get a haircut & a shave while we were in Shaqlawa doing our translation workshops. We found a hospitable barber and what was supposed to be a banal, routine thing became a small performance. Possibly because the proprietor was such a fun character. Still, it was kind of embarrassing so I read the shortest poem I could think of. رايان ڤان وينكل: “أردت ان أذهب للحلاق لأقص شعري و أحلق لحيتي أثناء وجودنا في شقلاوة لورشة العمل. وجدنا حلاقاً رحب بنا، و تحول شيءاً عادياً غير ذي أهمية الى عمل فني صغير. ربما لأن الحلاق كان شخصاً مرحاً للغاية. و عندما ألحٌوا علي ان ألقي شعر، شعرت بالإحراج فقرأت أقصر قصيدة كان بإمكاني التفكير بها.” Highlight Arts present a series of nine short films called Found in Translation. All shot in Iraqi Kurdistan and featuring poetry recitals and translations by UK and Iraqi based writers; spoken and subtitled in a mix of English, Arabic and Kurdish.The poetry derives from workshops that took place in Shaqlawa, Iraqi Kurdistan where the poets participated in four days of translation workshops and collaborative poetry experiments. This yielded dozens of new translations in Arabic, Kurdish and English with poetry being shared and friendships forged. تقدم هايلايت آرتس مجموعة من تسعة أفلام قصيرة تحت عنوان “وجد في الترجمة”. تم تصوير هذه الأفلام في كردستان العراق و هي قراءات شعرية و ترجماتها من قبل كتاب مقيمين في بريطانيا و في العراق. هي محكية و مترجمة بخليط لغوي انكليزي- عربي- كردي – و الأشعار مستوحاة من ورشات عمل أقيمت في شقلاوة – كردستان العراق – حين شارك هؤلاء الشعراء لمدة أربع أيام في ورشات عمل في الترجمة و أعمال تجريبية في الشعر الجماعي. انتجت هذه الورشة صداقات جديدة و عدة أعمال جديدة ترجمت الى العربية و UK poets include Kei Miller, winner of the 2014 Forward Poetry prize, Vicky Feaver, Nia Davies, Stephen J Fowler and Ryan Van Winkle winner of the 2015 Saltire Society’s Poetry Book of the Year prize.
