Actor Container - Art Film - London

Saaj is leading a newly-commissioned film by Leeds based artist Karanjit Panesar to be showcased at 2 Queens Gallery in Leicester.

The film uses a narrative structure called a ‘strange loop’; a device that involves multiple levels of reality that are nested inside each other. Strange loops are often found in stories of time travel and the supernatural, and usually result in paradoxes and general confusion.

Actor, Container follows characters Saaj and Chandni, who are pulled between these kinds of levels, only to wind up back where they started. It is a recurring dream in tandem.
