Babylon am Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz hosts a conference and animation film programs, and 12 galleries showcase exhibitions by 17 artists. After the opening stampede through this gallery tour, the festival kicks off on Wednesday, May 10th at 21h with a meet n greet at ACUD MACHT NEU, a steady mix of dub and electronic beats by Deadbeat. Upstairs at ACUD Kino, one can embark on a time travel through the Best of Characters in Motion screening from previous years.
