One day French filmmaker Armel Hostiou discovers he has a second Facebook account: a fake Armel who has photos of the real one and many, many female friends, all of whom live in Kinshasa. Fake Armel invites them to audition for his next film, which is supposedly set in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Faced with the impossibility of closing this account, the filmmaker decides to go looking for his double.

Part twisty surreal journey, part thorough investigative report into the murky world of online content creating, The Other Profile is Hostiou’s second feature-length documentary and picked up the Work in Progress Award at last year’s Visions du Reel documentary film festival in Nyon.
