Yeun is a woman who projects on herself the image of her missing daughter. Her husband Sangwo works as a projectionist in a theatre and experiences difficulties not being able to discern what is real and what is not out of the theatre. The couple’s life flows on the edge between two dimensions and the whole story is covered with mystery. Sangwo attempts to get rid of his fears by cutting strips of his film, which is projected at the theatre as an old double feature film. It represents a metafilm, that is to say real life within fictional life and also Yeun and Sangwo’s existence, which is physically projected in the movie.
Mo Hyun-shin (1980) studied French literature and then Filmmaking at the graduate school of Yon-sei University. “Double Feature” is his first film as a director. He thinks that when you watch a movie inside a theatre you walk into a dark and closed area, where you experience both spatially and temporally regulated fantasy. When you walk out, you can either accept or ignore the new dimension.
