**Recognized in the arenas of both art and film, Grimonprez has been included in exhibitions throughout the world. His films have appeared at numerous film festivals, with Double Take premiering in both Europe at the Berlin Film Festival and in the US at the Sundance Film Festival. Double Take cast Alfred Hitchcock as a paranoid history professor, unwittingly caught up in a double take on the cold war period. Grimonprez targets the global rise of "fear-as-commodity" as television hijacks cinema, the Kruschev and Nixon kitchen debate rattles on, and sexual politics quietly take off.
