Babette Mangolte (American, born in France) is an internationally known experimental filmmaker. As an installation artist, Mangolte is interested in creating architectural spaces which propose various modes of interaction between spectators, particularly with photographs and films shown in installation. Mangolte is also known for her photographic and film archive, which documents the experimental theatre, dance, and performance scenes of the 1970s and 1980s in New York City. She has also published essays theorizing her practice as a filmmaker and photographer, and has written about technological transformations in film with the advent of digital technologies. Mangolte is currently a professor at the University of California, San Diego.
