00:00:19,896 --> 00:00:24,423
Hi, I’m Anna Matamala,
from TransMedia Catalonia group

3
00:00:24,583 --> 00:00:26,666
at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona.

4
00:00:26,826 --> 00:00:30,862
I’m talking from my home,
where I am teleworking.

5
00:00:31,022 --> 00:00:33,907
Today I’ve changed
my homewear for a black shirt,

6
00:00:34,067 --> 00:00:35,557
earrings and necklace,

7
00:00:35,750 --> 00:00:37,923
and we’ve found a white wall

8
00:00:38,083 --> 00:00:41,040
so that this home video
seems somehow professional.

9
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:46,187
The presenter is
a researcher in her late forties,

10
00:00:46,347 --> 00:00:47,685
round-faced and with glasses,

11
00:00:47,845 --> 00:00:50,643
ready to share a project with you.

12
00:00:50,803 --> 00:00:55,350
I going to speak about ALMA,
a network about accessibility

13
00:00:55,510 --> 00:00:58,519
in minority languages
in audiovisual media.

14
00:00:58,679 --> 00:01:03,203
This network is led by Josu Amezaga,
from the University of the Basque Country,

15
00:01:03,363 --> 00:01:08,527
and there are Catalan, Basque,
Galician, and Valencian researchers

16
00:01:08,687 --> 00:01:11,493
from groups such as NOR and TRALIMA,

17
00:01:11,653 --> 00:01:13,462
at the University of the Basque Country,

18
00:01:13,719 --> 00:01:15,513
Immersive Interactive Media

19
00:01:15,673 --> 00:01:17,929
from the Polytechnic
University of Valencia,

20
00:01:18,220 --> 00:01:20,995
GALMA from the University of Vigo,

21
00:01:21,155 --> 00:01:23,671
GEA from the University of Santiago,

22
00:01:23,831 --> 00:01:25,842
HIPIS from the University of València

23
00:01:26,002 --> 00:01:28,511
and our group, TransMedia Catalonia.

24
00:01:28,671 --> 00:01:29,596
In this network

25
00:01:29,756 --> 00:01:33,732
we share information
about media accessibility

26
00:01:33,892 --> 00:01:36,843
in languages such as Catalan,
Basque and Galician.

27
00:01:37,003 --> 00:01:39,206
We understand
accessibility as global:

28
00:01:39,741 --> 00:01:43,183
we need accessible content
if we don’t understand the language

29
00:01:43,343 --> 00:01:46,324
but also when we can't access
the audio or video.

30
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,006
The network has
researchers with different profiles:

31
00:01:50,166 --> 00:01:53,545
translators, engineers, linguists,

32
00:01:53,705 --> 00:01:56,712
willing to collaborate,
disseminate research

33
00:01:56,872 --> 00:01:59,614
and investigate how
access services are offered

34
00:01:59,774 --> 00:02:01,509
in Spain's various languages.

35
00:02:01,733 --> 00:02:04,561
Another action is
the dissemination our research

36
00:02:04,721 --> 00:02:08,328
through MAP,
the Media Accessibility Platform.

37
00:02:09,470 --> 00:02:12,678
The network started this year.

38
00:02:12,838 --> 00:02:16,846
We held a seminar at UAB,
where we shared our investigations.

39
00:02:17,006 --> 00:02:21,697
In the coming three years
we aim to organise five more seminars

40
00:02:22,345 --> 00:02:27,979
and have new projects and collaborations
develop from these interactions.
