Month: March 2018

Today I had a privilege to interpret the master-class of an American screenwriter from New York Film Academy Paul Brown at the 15th International exhibition of equipment, services and new technology for cinema production (CPS 2018). Paul Brown spoke about how to write a story that would engage a viewer and evoke empathy; what is needed to become a successful screenwriter, director, actor or producer. It was fascinating to learn about this creative world of film making and speak to this amazing professional, join in his energy, enthusiasm and love for his job.

For more information, please, see the CPS 2018 website.

Below there is a short video clip from the master-class. Unfortunately, the sound is of low quality: high quality video will be available later.

Today I interpreted simultaneously at the panel session on gerontology in the longevity focus on the International Forum “Active Longevity”, Moscow 2018. It was a very interesting, positive event. The Forum addressed new social initiatives, measures to improve long-term care for senior generation, setting up clubs, circles and sport centres specially for elderly people to encourage their active position, desire to live and learn something new.  The mayor of Moscow, Mr. Sergey Sobyanin visited the closing plenary session.

For two days I interpreted consecutively at meetings of representatives of a Dutch company Pentair, a world leader in pump production, with potential clients and partners – Rosvodokanal, Mosvodokanal and RKS (Russian utility systems).
