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

Her er mit hjem er en dokumentarfilm fra 1956 instrueret af Hagen Hasselbalch efter eget manuskript. At indrette sit hjem er en interessant, men vanskelig opgave. Filmen skildrer, hvordan et hjem er blevet til, og hvorledes kvinden i hjemmet i sin søgen efter gode og smukke ting har oplevet danske kunsthåndværkere i deres inspiration og i deres arbejde med at fremstille møbler, sølvtøj, stoffer og porcelæn. For hende er det, som om naturen selv har præget alt, og hun har fundet skønhed i de gode brugsting, der nu smykker hendes hjem og gør det både personligt og til et udtryk for, hvad dansk kunstindustri formår.
