Blackmagic Design today announced that “Rains Over Babel,” the debut feature film from Spanish Colombian writer/director Gala del Sol, was edited and color graded in DaVinci Resolve Studio. The film recently premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival in the NEXT category which spotlights innovative, bold and forward thinking films.
In the film, a city’s Grim Reaper, La Flaca, presides over Babel, a legendary dive bar that doubles as purgatory. Inside, a group of misfits converges, gambling years of their lives with La Flaca, daring to outwit Death herself. Described as a tropical Colombian steampunk fever dream, the fantastical world and vibrant characters in “Rains Over Babel” were brought to life in post by Editors Gala del Sol and Hadley Hillel, along with Assistant Editors Jose Varón and Felipe Aguilar, and Colorist Elliott Powell.
“Hadley and I began by editing each scene separately in DaVinci Resolve Studio, starting with individual timelines for every scene. Later, we combined these into sequences to refine timing, rhythm, and structure. We used speed ramps to finetune the rhythm of certain cuts and enhance the energy in action sequences. Resolve’s stabilization tools were fantastic, helping to smooth out some challenging shots,” noted del Sol.
