The Cannes Festival has chosen a film made by a British civil servant with no formal training and cost only £400 for this year’s competition. It is the only British film included in this year’s festival. “This is just a fairytale for us. None of us have ever been to film school. We just decided to make it when Ben sold his mandolin to raise money to buy his camera. It’s about the doppelganger myth, what happens when a person comes across their own doppelganger.”
