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 short experimental film creates a three-dimensional version of Pablo Picasso's painting Guernica. It combines real footage from the Spanish Civil War with sketches and other images to present a visual fantasy based on the artwork.

What happens

Guernica er en dansk eksperimentalfilm fra 1950 med instruktion og manuskript af Helge Ernst. En billedfantasi inspireret af og bygget over Pablo Picassos berømte maleri fra 1937. Maleriets elementer er gengivet plastisk, modelleret op i gips. Der anvendes autentiske optagelser fra den spanske borgerkrig samt skitser til maleriet og andre optagelser.
