Jeffrey Babcock

Jeffrey Babcock (USA) is an alternative film curator and cultural activist.

He also has a keen eye for finding elements of experimental film-language beyond the strict limits of what is categorized as experimental film: from early science documentaries to contemporary Korean teenage films.
