This extends into collaborative VR (“Entanglements”) and professional sound design for film and theatre, including scoring and sound design for the features The Visual Feminist Manifesto (IFFR) and Queer Core (IDFA), and for theatre works.

Beatrice Babin (she/her) is a professor at the Chair of Editing. As a film editor and dramaturg, she has worked on fiction and documentary films for many years. She has collaborated with directors such as Emily Atef, Volker Koepp, Markus Imhoof, Cordula Kablitz-Post, Elisa Mishto, Wim Wenders, Tuna Kaptan, Pierre-Alain Meier and Mara Eibl-Eibesfeldt. Her films are predominantly theatrical productions that have screened at festivals worldwide.
Since 2018, she has been performing regularly as BeBab – as a live video performer and VJ, particularly in the genre of Live Cinema. Her video installations and VJ sets revolve around the permeability of memory and invention: dreams of a future that has sometimes already become the past. For her performances she combines analog modules, video synthesizers and digital video mapping into sets that are trippy, glitchy and atmospherically dense. She is a founding member of the Berlin-based VJ collective Trial-and-Theresa and of Suuperpose.
