Double Jeopardy: To Live on the Moon, written and directed by Marcel Dzama.

The article focuses on Marcel Dzama’s film *To Live on the Moon (For Lorca)*, a black-and-white tribute that blends the historical execution of Spanish poet Federico García Lorca with the mysterious death of Canadian painter Tom Thomson, creating a mythological narrative that departs from strict historical accuracy. Dzama incorporates elements from Lorca’s 1929 screenplay alongside invented scenes, characters—including a Trump-like figure—and symbolic motifs, while also integrating his signature theatrical and artistic influences such as Francis Picabia. The film’s narrative is intertwined with a live performance and exhibition, emphasizing themes of artistic immortality and transformation, culminating in Lorca’s imaginative reincarnation as the moon. The work reflects Dzama’s interest in mixing fact, fiction, and art history to explore the enduring spirit of creativity.
