About

'Double Take' is an exploration of doppelgängers, impostors and the uncanny in cinema. From duplicitous imitators and conniving clones to inseparable twins and oneiric obsession, the program examines the mutability of identity and the ways in which it can be fragmented, replicated and exchanged between people. It dives into the mysterious and the macabre with paranoid thrillers, fantastical dramas and hair-raising horrors from around the world, presented from rare archival prints and new digital restorations.
