La Manzanilla message board

translation of interviews Posted by Anne Wheeler on March 14, 2018, 1:04 pm Dear Friends who speak Spanish and English! A couple of years ago now I had Miriam (filmmaker) working with Ray and myself, do a series of interviews with the Elders of La Manzanilla. These people , around a dozen, shared their stories on camera, about the history of our town and their families. Last year Miriam with an Editor cut the interviews down to about two hours. Now I want to get them translated and a subtitled version of the tape made, which is quite expensive. My dream is to give it to the town, and hopefully have an installation where people can come and sit and listen to as much as they wish. It will be a gift to the town. So now I need volunteers to translated - that is listen to the interviews and write out in English what is being said. It can be a tedious job, but most interesting. Are there two or three good souls who might be interested in taking this on? -------------------

Re: translation of interviews Posted by Anne Wheeler on March 19, 2018, 5:54 pm, in reply to "Re: translation of interviews" HI generous folks. I have the hard drive with all the interviews and am working through the technology...please email me if you can and I'll be back in touch when I know what you need to know. I have 14 interviews on digital - big big files, all of them between 10 and 20 minutes. So I might be able to split them up. But I will have to communicate with you by email. Thanks. Anne -------------------

Relevant Posted by Daniel H on April 20, 2018, 2:09 pm, in reply to "translation of interviews" TIL that between 1937 and 1939, 100k Irish children were encouraged to seek out the oldest person they knew and gather their stories. This has been compiled into an archive searchable by any topic ranging from the supernatural to natural remedies. https://www.irishtimes.com/life-and-style/people/ireland-s-darkest-oddest-and-weirdest-secrets-uncovered-1.3418059?mode=amp Source I have heard it said that we are a collection of photons (sun/light/energy) and our task as we age is to pass on that energy i.e. learning. Also wondering how the translation of interviews project is going? -------------------
