Frameline Distribution, the world’s only nonprofit distributor dedicated to LGBTQ+ films, is redefining what it means to bring independent cinema to theaters. Doppelgängers³, Dr. Nelly Ben Hayoun-Stépanian’s freewheeling filmic essay-meets-documentary that explores queer and ecofeminist futures in space and on Earth, is coming to theaters around the US this fall! Featuring the music of Pussy Riot, Mirrored Fatality, Asmodessa and Colin Self, Doppelgängers³ had its World Premiere at the 2024 SXSW Film Festival before holding its Queer Premiere at Frameline48, the 48th San Francisco International LGBTQ+ Film Festival.
Bolstered by pre-show performers, post-screening panels, and limited-edition merchandise, Doppelgängers³’s theatrical “tour stops” are taking a cue from how indie musicians bring exciting experiences, beyond their art, and to audiences.
Doppelgängers³ is also partnering with Lomo Camera to do giveaways as part of a competition where members of the public are invited to come to a screening as lookalikes or doppelgängers. Each lucky winner will be selected to win one of the ‘lo-fi’ and ‘whimsical’ cameras produced by Lomography.
