Our new collaboration with Novaya Gazeta/The New Times, the premiere independent news organization in Russia, is rewarding and challenging! We are subtitling their project "To Be. Continued," a series of interviews with journalists and activists involved in major news stories.

We benefit immensely from opportunities to work with important, original, and difficult documentaries. In turn, we help them reach a broader audience through English film subtitles. In the spirit of "solidarity, not charity," we want to make free subtitles for projects of great social value.
Sandormokh
A Russian-language film by the Iofe Fund about research on the Sandormokh mass burial site and victims of Stalinist repressions.
Whose Agents?
A Russian-language film by the 7x7 Journal about the first private individuals (rather than NGOs) officially designated "Foreign Agents" by the Russian government.
Global Feminism Project
The Global Feminisms Project collected interviews with iconic Russian feminists about the history of the Russian feminist movement, their lives and work. We created the English subtitles for all the interviews.
