Double Take selected by Sundance

Double Take selected by Sundance Film Festival 2010

Johan Grimonprez’ documentary film Double Take is selected by the Sundance Film Festival 2010. Sundance, the premier showcase for U.S. and international independent films, will take place from January 21 - 31, 2010.

In Double Take director Johan Grimonprez questions how our view of reality is held hostage by the mass media, advertising and Hollywood. Written by award winning British novelist Tom McCarthy, the film targets the global rise of fear-as-commodity, in a tale of odd couples and hilarious double deals.
Paying tribute to the themes of doubling and mistaken identity, Grimonprez creates a unique interpretation of Alfred Hitchcock's illustrious cameo television and film appearances, through which Grimonprez examines the influence of this cinema-icon on a deeper, more socio-political level.

Double Take is co-produced by the Dutch Company Volya Films, a Rotterdam based production company, established in 2004 by producer Denis Vaslin and director Ineke Smits. The film premiered at the Berlin International Film Festival 09.
