Join us to discuss Being George Clooney: A Film About the Art of Dubbing

As Hollywood depends more and more on international box office proceeds, voiceover dubbing has become part of a multi-billion dollar business. Dubbing studios around the world face the daunting task of translating hundreds of movies into dozens of languages. Film producers have to consider markets in Italy and India as well as the United States…or lose substantial revenues. BEING GEORGE CLOONEY explores the business and the process of audio dubbing, from its curious origins in Mussolini’s Italy to technological developments changing the face of the industry today.

The first film to go behind the scenes at dubbing studios in Los Angeles, Berlin, Rome and Mumbai, BEING GEORGE CLOONEY shows us the problems, the processes and the personalities that translate an American hit into an international blockbuster, and asks the question-what is it like Being George Clooney?
