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 man and a woman are drifting apart as their relationship falls apart. In the background, a girl is only heard but never seen, and another girl the man tries to connect with to pass the time.

What happens

Havnsø er en dansk kortfilm fra 1968 instrueret af Niels Heie efter eget manuskript. Et møde mellem en mand og en kvinde, hvis kærlighedsforhold er ved at opløses. Omkring disse to personer er to andre placeret: en pige, som tilskuerne aldrig ser, men kun hører, og en pige, som hovedpersonen for at udfylde en ventetid forsøger at opnå kontakt med.
