Detective Nancy Delport, working late in her Cape Town bureau, is investigating the murder of Hollywood actress Crystal Fallone, who has been shot dead in Cape Town whilst appearing in a re-make of JL Godard’s 1963 film ‘Contempt.’ Delport is on the phone to Fallone’s father, TV-movie director Peter Kashlin, who is thousands of miles away on the LA set of his latest thriller - in which Crystal was due to star. But implausibly, Kashlin’s movie set in Los Angeles appears to be an exact reproduction of Delport’s detective office in Cape Town. What’s more, ‘Century City’ is a circular crime thriller - it loops endlessly as a dual-screen installation in gallery spaces. The mystery at the center of the film is never solved. Furthermore, the film proposes a spatial and logical impossibility.
