CX Studio
The Creative Exchange Studio (CX Studio) is a new initiative from the film university, undertaking research in the fields of immersive audio-visual and interactive media, and in new forms of film and video production. The goal of CX Studio is the accelerated development of the film university as a leading partner in the Babelsberg region both in cooperative, multi-disciplinary research and in the development of New Media.
