i dream in your language, 2009-2012 (final edit) from Michele Jaquis on Vimeo.

i dream in your language is a series of short video portraits about language, communication, misunderstandings inspired by my envy of other people's ability to speak multiple languages. Participants were asked what it is like to communicate with people who don't speak their native language and what languages they dream in. Each interview, subtitled in both English and the second language spoken, reveals the complex negotiations of translating and interpreting what's been said and what was meant.
 
This video has only been screened once in its entirety. Ideally it would be screened in each country represented by the participants in the video: Korea, Italy, Singapore, Nicaragua, India, Japan and Germany. Accompanying each video screening would be live language interpretation via low powered FM transmitters and receivers with headsets for each member of the audience, allowing them to hear their native language throughout the entire video, not just in the segment in which their language is spoken.
