A volunteer effort to translate silent-film title cards into bilingual versions for shared screenings.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-04 issue.

Field notes

The project divides the work into transcription, translation, design, and timing, with a progress board tracking each stage for three named silent films. Its rules treat the title card as a timed performance object: translations must fit the original length, jokes must work in Spanish, and the finished film must preserve the organist's cues. The homepage identifies Mexican Spanish as the first target and says completed materials will be free for theatres to use with credit.
