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 short experimental film from 1950 uses natural footage to create a composition based on lines and rhythms. It emphasizes a flowing, infinite movement through its editing and music.

What happens

Legato er en dansk eksperimentalfilm fra 1950 instrueret af Henning Bendtsen. En lille eksperimentalfilm, der ganske vist består af naturalistiske optagelser, men alene udtrykker sig gennem linjer og rytmer, der tænkes at bevæge sig uendeligt. Den glidende rytme er yderligere søgt understreget med Bernhard Christensens musik. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
