The Department of Translation, in collaboration with the Al-Karak Culture Directorate, and the Forsan Al-Madina Association, organized a cultural event featuring a screening of the film "Arrival" in English. The event took place at the cinema hall of the Al-Karak Culture Directorate.

Dr. Wlla Obeidat from the Department of Archaeology and Tourism, and Vice President of the Forsan Al-Madina Association, spoke about the association’s role and highlighted key initiatives aimed at promoting cultural engagement in the city of Al-Karak.

Following the film screening, a discussion session was held focusing on the role and significance of translation, as well as the relationship between language and thought as portrayed in the film.
