Ship of Theseus
Anand Gandhi’s highly anticipated film Ship Of Theseus premieres in India at the Mumbai Film Festival on October 24. The film recently won a Special Mention by the Sutherland Award Jury at 56th BFI London Film Festival and is screening at the ongoing Tokyo Film Festival. It had its World Premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival last month. Anand Gandhi talks about his debut feature here:
What is Ship of Theseus about?
Ship of Theseus is a philosophical paradox of identity and change. As the planks of Theseus’ ship needed repair, it was replaced part-by-part, up to a point where not a single part from the original ship remained in it, anymore. Is it, then, still the same ship? My film probes this question in a metaphorical sense. “How do we know where we end and our environment begins,” wonders one of the characters in the film.
