Traduzione del film "Avantaž" ("Vantaggio") di Georgi Djulgerov

This dissertation is based on the here proposed translation from Bulgarian into Italian of the film Avantaž directed by Georgi Djulgerov. It was first projected in 1977 and is, among Bulgarian films, the one that has received the most prestigious award, the Silver Bear for Best Director. The subtitles for the film, originally in Bulgarian, have not been translated into Italian yet. The dissertation is divided into seven chapters. The first chapter will present a brief explanation of the process of subtitling. The second, the third and the fourth illustrate the director and main actor's biography, informations about their lifelong collaboration, and the film they created together. The fifth and the sixth explain the historical and cultural background of the film. The seventh describes the main difficulties and challenges encountered during the transcription and especially the translation and the transformation of the original in a written text, which has to comply with the norms imposed by the limited perception time. As an appendix of the dissertation, I have provided the translation into Italian of the subtitles for the film, with parallel text in Bulgarian, an interview with the director and the main actor, along with their filmography, a bibliography and a sitography, which include all the resources used for writing this dissertation.
