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

Birte Weggerby er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1959 instrueret af Kristian Begtorp. Keramiker Birte Weggerby (1927-1982) arbejder i sit værksted med fremstillingen af en stor krukke med skulpturel fremtoning. Fra den våde lerklump vokser krukken gennem drejning og modellering for senere at blive dekoreret - hun blander farver, påfører glasuren, ridser og færdiggør arbejdet - så krukken kan brændes.
