**Position Summary**:
The doppelgänger—most often understood as an exact double of another living person—is a recurring trope in cinema, a medium whose photographic basis is said to enable the visualization of perfect doubles. This course considers both the presence of doppelgängers in film (e.g., characters, plotting devices, visual style) and the way in which cinema’s questionable status as “reality’s double”—particularly in the era of digital cinema—unsettles distinctions between original and copy.
