Since 1985, Bettina has worked as an editor with several
well-known German directors, on over fifty feature films,
documentaries and television films. In her collaborations, she
coined narrative rhythm and assembly structure and style of the
Berlin School of
film.
Bettina's works are characterized by the invisible
interface, which draws attention to story and atmosphere, and the
assembly is in the background itself. In 2007 she was awarded the
Bremen Film Award awarded for
longstanding contributions to European
cinema.
Bettina's most recent collaboration with Christian Petzold was the feature Barbara following earlier films with
him, The State I Am In and Yella, and Barbara was
nominated for the German Film Award.
Bettina followed this up with award winning Hannah Arendt for Margarethe von Trotta, about the influential and controversial German-Jewish philosopher and political theorist.
