Babak Rassi Editing

Professor Rassi is an artist and a filmmaker. His goal, as an educator, “is not only to teach students the established conventions of storytelling, and give them a solid technical foundation, but also to encourage the free and critical thinking that would enable them to take risks and discover fresh approaches in telling their stories.” Professor Rassi has also been busy in the editing room over the past year, editing "Festival in the Desert – A Taureg Homecoming," a documentary on the music/culture festival in the Sahara Desert. This piece, which premiered on Link TV last December, features the music of Ali Farka Toure and Robert Plant. Rassi was also Editor/Sound Designer on "Sophie Matisse – Painter," a profile of the New York painter who also happens to be the granddaughter of impressionist, Henri Matisse.
