The 2014-2015 Copeland Colloquium begins at 7 p.m. this Wednesday evening with a screening of Sofia Coppola’s 2003 film “Lost in Translation.”

Hosted by Amherst Cinema, the film will be introduced by Mount Holyoke Professor Christopher Benfrey and will be followed by a 20-minute discussion. For each month of the academic year, a different film will receive a similar analytical treatment as part of a translation film series, just one of the many events scheduled for this year’s Copeland Colloquium, “Words in Transit: The Cultures of Translation.”
