On March 6, 2024, students from the third stage of the Translation Department at Cihan University-Erbil embarked on an educational excursion to the BMC Translation and Dubbing Company, led by Assistant Lecturer. Imad al-Din Majid Zanneri.
Present at the company’s premises were BMC’s Director, Mr. Jutiar Hussein, along with the Administrative Director, Mrs. Shabul Abdullah Al-Sayyid, and the technical staff of BMC. During the visit, Mr. Jutiar engaged with the students, providing insights into the inner workings of television channels in relation to dubbing. He emphasized the pivotal role of translators and the translation department in the process of adaptation for the screen. Discussions also encompassed the specifics of dubbing films into Arabic and Kurdish, as well as their broadcast on official satellite channels. Mr. Gutierre also demonstrated the practical tools utilized by translators in their work, followed by a session of student inquiries.
Towards the end of the trip, students had the opportunity to observe and participate in the dubbing process alongside actors in the competition studio. This excursion served as a practical supplement to the Audiovisual Translation course offered to students of the Translation Department at Cihan University-Erbil, demonstrating the institution’s commitment to bridging academic learning with real-world application.
