Similar to metafiction in technique, metafilm is a style of film-making which presents the film as a story about film production. Examples of this would be Federico Fellini's 8½, François Truffaut's Day for Night, Jean-Luc Godard's Le Mepris, Spike Jonze's Adaptation., Tom DiCillo's Living in Oblivion, Alejandro Jodorowsky's The Holy Mountain, Wes Craven's New Nightmare, Michael Powell's Peeping Tom, David Lynch's Mulholland Drive, Charlie Kaufman's Synecdoche, New York.
An example of a comparable technique in theater would be Six Characters in Search of an Author by Luigi Pirandello and Living in Oblivion by Tom DiCillo.
