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 group of filmmakers take turns filming each other with Super 8 cameras in a Danish deer park. The footage is assembled as a collective, fragmentary work where the act of filming itself becomes the subject.

What happens

Dyrehavefilmen er en film instrueret af Jørgen Leth, Ole John. Kollektivfilm. Fragmentariske super 8-optagelser fra Dyrehaven med ABCinemas medlemmer som fotografer og hermed instruktører. Filmen har i kraft af gruppens optagelser af hinanden, der filmer, en stærkt selvreflekterende karakter (fra Anders Leifers bog "Også i dag oplevede jeg noget ... Samtaler med Jørgen Leth", 1999).
