The New York Peace Film Festival will be held March 10-11 in New York City.

The producers of this year’s New York Peace Film Festival are seeking a translator for Sunday, March 4 and Monday, March 5 to assist with events leading up to the actual festival the following week at the Unitarian Church of All Souls.
The producers are now coordinating with local activists and guests from Japan for an entire week of events relating to Fukushima. There will be an energy expert, professors, and a worker from the crippled Fukushima Daiichi and Daini nuclear plant, who will speak to the public on March 5 at Riverside Church, and for emergency workers and first responders including doctors and others at Manhattanville College on March 6.
Due to the nature of panelists and audience on March 6, an able translator and interpreter is needed. This will be paid work. For more information, please e-mail NYPFF executive producer Yumi Tanaka at yumicomic [at] gmail [dot] com.
