About Us

Since 2011, the Palermo-based agency SudTitles has been active both regionally and nationally in promoting film culture and making films available in their original versions with subtitles. In addition to organizing film screenings and festivals, SudTitles has collaborated with numerous entities to create subtitles in various languages for a wide range of film festivals, including the Sicilia Queer filmfest in Palermo, Festival dei Popoli in Florence, Taormina Film Fest, Seeyousound in Turin, and the Apriti Cinema series at the Uffizi in Florence. The agency has also worked with foreign cultural institutes such as the Goethe-Institut in Rome and Palermo, the Institut Français Italia and Palermo, and the Instituto Cervantes in Palermo, as well as with production companies, distributors, and institutions like RAI. Additionally, we are continuously involved in training new translators and subtitlers, teaching courses in Theory and Techniques of Audiovisual Translation and Subtitling for universities and institutions, such as the Cineteca di Bologna, and we have been collaborating with the University of Palermo to offer teaching and internships.

In 2021, the agency restructured its legal framework and began redefining its mission. It expanded its range of services and invested in the necessary technology to provide accessibility services, including subtitles for the Deaf and the Hard of Hearing and audiodescription for the blind and partially sighted.”
