Abstract:

This paper presents a reception study on a multilingual product in audiovisual translation (AVT), which is, to date, an underresearched field. In this contribution the authors present the reception analysis of the multilingual fiction film Handia (Aitor Arregi and Jon Garaño 2017), which was filmed mainly in Basque and contains various L3. Data were gathered using GoogleForms and contacting participants via social networks. A total of 534 responses were obtained. After a demographic analysis of the participants, information was collected and divided into three blocks: audiovisual consumption habits, characteristics of the viewing of the film and perception of the film and its translation. The results were analysed both quantitatively and qualitatively and show that participants are not fully aware of the version they have watched. Nevertheless, they have a good perception of the film and its translation, mostly in subtitled versions.
