Updated: Conversation: Eastercon 2023

This coming weekend is Easter, so you know what that means (if you’re aware of the UK SF convention circuit) – Eastercon! Conversation 2023 features guests of honour Zen Cho, Niall Harrison, Kari Sperring and Adrian Tchaikovsky, plus virtual guests Jenell Jaquays and Ursula Vernon. And for one day two days only, me!

Unfortunately, due to family illness, I’ll only be appearing briefly and virtually, but if you’re around on Friday or Saturday afternoon, here’s where you can find me:

Fri 1:30pm, Queens
Read the Subtitles! Beyond English Language in Genre TV and Film
What you are missing if you don’t get beyond the one inch barrier of subtitles? What new worlds might you open up? and what the problems might be. Also, the pros and cons of dubbed versions.
Zen Cho, Anne-Louise Fortune, Gillian Polack, Anna Raftery (moderator), Ruth EJ Booth

So, a guest of honour and fellow fabby folks talking about my obsession with the subtitles on the first Nightwatch movie. Nice and simple, easy to remember!

UPDATE: I’ve now been added to a second panel on Saturday. Come join us to hear about my experiences editing the upcoming Fantasy and Gaming issue of the BFS Journal!

Sat 4:30pm, Queens
The Art of the Edit
Editing can make or break a work; like cutting a gem from rock, it helps to refine the raw material into the beautiful final piece. And like gems, we rarely see the rough version before the cuts to know what’s changed. Our panel discuss the sometimes unseen art of editing.
Anne Charnock, Oghenechovwe Ekpeki, Hildur Knútsdóttir, Pete Sutton, Ruth EJ Booth

Hope to “see” you there.
