Synopsis In Flow of Words follows the narratives of three interpreters of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. They interpreted shocking testimonies from witnesses, victims, and perpetrators, without ever allowing their own emotions, feelings and personal histories to emerge. Unlike the stance they hold while working at the court, this film puts their voices and experiences under the spotlight.
Director’s bio-filmography Eliane Esther Bots (1986) graduated cum laude from the Master of Film at the Netherlands Film Academy in Amsterdam and works as a lecturer of Moving image at the University of the Arts in Utrecht.
