The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Aarstiderne er en dansk dokumentarisk optagelse fra 1944. Det danske landskab ses gennem alle årstider startende med efteråret. Der er bl.a. optagelser fra skitur i Dyrehaven og Bellahøj Dyrskue med Lis Hartel på Jubilee. Hver mellemtekst er et digt, og der er tegnet en lille tegning på hver. Filmen slutter med: Danmark smiler uforsagt - danske Mænd og Kvinder har fra Arilds Tid holdt Vagt om de lyse Minder om et Land, og et Folk, et Sprog samlet under Dannebrog det er gamle Danmark.
