Esperanto-TV is excited to announce, that we have succeeded in convincing Tim Lea, the director of the new film "54 Days", that he should subtitle his film to Esperanto. "54 Days" is an Australia, crowdsourced, independent, feature film, created by "54 Day Productions"

You can read the entire article here (In Esperanto):

This is an excellent example of the growing strength of Esperanto-TV. The only true IPTV channel to exist in Esperanto. For more information about Esperanto-TV check out the website Acting Australia which has extensive coverage of the channel both in Esperanto and English

Very cool, I'll have to check this out when it's released. Efforts like these are very important to the movement, since most of us younger people are more into videos than books. It sounds like a rich plot with much to explore, and I'm interested to see an Australian perspective on this somewhat popular end-of-the-world theme. Kudos to the director for supporting a legal subtitling of his film.

Woah, nice job you guys!

Honestly I have a feeling that a lot of small movies/companies wouldn't mind doing stuff like putting a little Esperanto on their packaging, or having it as subtitles, if only someone stepped up and offered to do it or asked them to. I have thought about it quite a few times if I shouldn't contact some local Swedish companies for example and see if they would be willing to (but, I'm not a Swede, so I feel awkward doing it).

Thanks guys!

Esperanto-TV is in a good position as we have established ourselves in the local Australian Film Industry, and local directors are now starting see the international power and reach of Esperanto. However, to be truly effective we must spread this message and reach as many Esperantists as possible. So please share this link with all samideanoj to help us have a strong launch!

Thanks,

Its definitely very cool that Esperanto-TV is expanding. However, I can't really follow subtitles when the audio is in my native tongue. I'd have to mute it. Do you think there will be any dubbing in the future?

Not for this film, but as the channel grows dubbings will become more of a possibility.

I had not checked out Esperanto-TV before so thank you for this message. I love the short videos! My favorites are those that show nature's beauty with an Esperanto narrator -preferably speaking directly into the camera -like the frozen lake videos. I like the cooking guy too but he speaks way faster than I can keep up with, although hopefully one day I will be better able to follow. To me, these are better than documentaries - they just show regular people enjoying life and sharing. I personally am not as interested in the film with subtitles but I may watch it anyway because I appreciate the effort. Multan dankon! ridulo.gif

Great Site,Thank you!
But Can you use an HTML5 player,instead of Adobe Flash on your site?
I can do that for you, Check sites like Videojs or just use a simple tag!

Hi guys,

Thought I would introduce myself - it's Tim Lea the director of 54 Days. My Esperanto is very basic - but we are excited by the possibilities of sharing our movie with you in Esperanto via Esperanto TV and the Q&As session afterwards. We are also happy (ultimately) to put additional subtitles to also help those who may have different native languages other than English. We already have Spanish (we won our International Award at the 30 Dies festival in Andorra - Northern Spain). We are currently looking at Portuguese and German - any other preferences ?

Regards and thanks for your support of 54 Days.

Tim
