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

A documentary about elderly pensioners in Copenhagen who ride the tram just to pass the time. It contrasts their leisurely journeys with the busy everyday life around them.

What happens

Vinduesplads er en dokumentarfilm instrueret og efter manuskript af Jens Ravn fra 1967. Man kan også køre i sporvogn for sin fornøjelses skyld, især når man er pensionist og har tid nok: Nogle gamle mennesker i København, kører i sporvogn på deres pensionistkort for at få tiden til at gå. Filmen tegner et nænsomt og lidt vemodigt billede af denne måske noget paradoksale rejselyst og sætter den i modsætning til det øvrige travle hverdagsliv i og udenfor sporvognen.
