The Telephone Eulogies
Joe Hiscott 20mins U
The Telephone Eulogies, is a living experiment on film
that combines a children’s game of broken telephone,
a self-penned eulogy and trans-cultural cast of
translators, performers and language enthusiasts. the
film follows the eulogic narrative as it snakes its way
through 12 languages and 21 translations, ultimately
shedding layers of the original message as it is
transformed by miscommunication, misunderstanding,
misperception and misnomer. Ultimately, the message
suffers a slow death by interpretation while
continually giving birth to new possible meanings. Art
