The Interpreter (2026)

In *The Interpreter*, Amjad, a Syrian refugee now living in the UK, embarks on a journey to retrain as a community interpreter—a role that pulls him back into the same bureaucratic system that once questioned him. Revisiting his own asylum hearings, he negotiates the intense, layered relationships between the interpreter, the displaced individual, and institutional power. Using carefully staged re-enactments, the film challenges the myth of neutrality, revealing the interpreter as both a bridge and a wall. Here, translation becomes a quiet rebellion and a fragile thread of human connection.
