In “Doppelgängers³,” three look-alikes, including director Nelly Ben Hayoun-Stépanian, go to a cave in Spain to figure out ways Earthlings could avoid repeating history’s mistakes on other planets.
“My doppelgängers only stayed with me two nights, then they left because we had to abort the mission,” says Ben Hayoun-Stépanian. “There was a whole drama situation happening.” If you want to know exactly what the drama was, you’ll have to watch Ben Hayoun-Stépanian’s new documentary, Doppelgängers³, which premieres this weekend at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas.
For the other, she relies on her doppelgängers: Lucia Kagramanyan and Myriam Amroun, two people who share Ben Hayoun-Stépanian’s background but not her lived experiences. In addition to the film, Ben Hayoun-Stépanian plans to present her findings from the documentary in a paper at the International Astronautical Federation’s congress in October. “Often in space agencies, diversity is seen as tokenism,” Ben Hayoun-Stépanian.
