    • Synopsis
    • Doppelgängers3 draws on the experience of diasporas to challenge the commercialisation of the moon.Through encounters with doppelgängers and meetings with scientists, visionaries and cultural inventors, Nelly Ben Hayoun-Stépanian and her doppelgängers offer an experimental vision and template for a future diaspora beyond Earth. How will human inhabitants of the moon understand origin, borders and nations?
      The film culminates in an analog space mission in a deep cave in Spain in which we see Ben Hayoun-Stépanian and her doppelgangers experiencing a moon utopia. But things do not go according to plan…
      A visual, sonic experience with music by Pussy Riot,Colin Self, Mirrored Fatality and Asmodessa. A film shot in Algeria and Armenia, supported by Sundance Institute and Sandbox Films with BFI Doc Society Fund.
