Synopsis

In *Double Take*, director Johan Grimonprez reimagines Alfred Hitchcock as a paranoid history professor who becomes entangled in a dual examination of the Cold War era. The film subverts a carefully selected array of television footage and employs *The Birds* as a central metaphor to explore how catastrophe culture has persistently invaded the domestic sphere, tracing this phenomenon from the origins of moving images to the present day.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 17

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
