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

This documentary from 1968 follows the ferry traffic across the Great Belt in Denmark. It captures the routine journeys and the quiet beauty of the ferries and their machinery.

What happens

Det store bælt er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1968, der er instrueret af Claus Ørsted. Færgetrafikken på Storebælt er et karakteristisk og i og for sig banalt træk i dansk hverdagsliv. Men trafikmaskineriet har også sin egen sublime og monumentale skønhed. Det er den, filmen fra Storebælt er på sporet af. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
