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 Danish experimental film from 1969 shows a single couple at an upper-class garden party. The camera stays on them as they interact with unseen guests, letting the viewer imagine who they are greeting and talking about.

What happens

En film er en dansk eksperimentalfilm fra 1969 med instruktion og manuskript af Peter Thorsboe og Mogens Lehn. Filmen er en stramt stiliseret reportage med satirisk undertone fra et mondænt gardenparty i ambassadeklassen. Dens metode er et spil mellem det man ser, og det man ikke ser, men i stedet forestiller sig. Kun ét par er med, man ser de samme to personer hele tiden, og kun dem, og i deres ansigter ser/gætter/forestiller man sig, hvem de hilser på, taler med, snakker om etc. på deres rundgang gennem partyet.
