Doppelgängers³ is a playful polyphonic hybrid documentary and space mission design in which Nelly Ben Hayoun-Stépanian is summoning three versions of herself in a chaotic odyssey through geopolitics, family trauma, and quantum physics to ask: who gets to write our origin stories, and can the experience of the past help us imagine new futures in outer space? Blurring the lines between documentary and creative installation, Doppelgängers³ navigates the entangled terrains of decolonial practices and intergenerational trauma with genuine humour and a good dose of 'madness'.
This screening will have a short recorded introduction from director Nelly Ben Hayoun-Stépanian and a 25-minute post-screening relaxed writing/reflection exercise led by Regina Mosch.
Regina Mosch is a filmmaker and researcher based in Edinburgh. Her filmmaking is often experimental, in dialogue with spaces and other media, and can be found in installations, cinemas or on Super8 cassettes. She has exhibited work at Alchemy Film and Moving Image Festival, Reykjavik Feminist Film Festival, CCA Glasgow and various exhibition spaces around Scotland. Regina obtained a PhD from Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh and teaches on a number of film courses. Her research focuses on trauma, queerness and documentary/film/art, particularly the intersections of power, affect and queer bodies. Sometimes she wonders about things like: Are film bodies films or bodies? When does a film shape a body, and when does it take the shape of a body?
