Dear Professor.
For several years I have been studying the history of Polish and German film translation in the period 1918-1939. I base my research on archival materials. I have already published several of my articles on this subject, and the next ones will be published in 2020.
Would you be interested in including Poland in your project? I would be happy to cooperate. I work in Polish and German but I can provide texts in English. This year I met Mrs. O'Sullivan in Warsaw, who is also interested in this topic.
Greetings
