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.

How it feels

This is an abstract Danish experimental film from 1950. Each frame is drawn directly on the film strip. The lines and motions express the changing sound effects and rhythms of a janissary band solo.

What happens

Ping pong er en eksperimentalfilm fra 1950 instrueret af Henning Bendtsen. En abstrakt film, hvor hvert enkelt billede er tegnet direkte på filmstrimlen. De enkelte streger og bevægelser udtrykker de vekslende effektlyde og rytmer, der ligger i den ledsagende janitsharsolo. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
