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 tells the story of Carl Th. Dreyer's lifelong effort to make a film about Jesus. It explains how he worked on the project for over 30 years and completed a script in 1950. A contract with producer Blevins Davis turned out to be disastrous and the film was never made.

What happens

Et livsværk - Carl Th. Dreyers Jesusfilm er en film instrueret af Lars Graff Nielsen efter eget manuskript. I mere end 30 år – helt frem til sin død – arbejdede Dreyer intenst på sin Jesus-film, hvortil der allerede i 1950 lå et færdigt manuskript. Dreyers kontrakt med en velhavende amerikaner, Blevins Davis, som havde påtaget sig at producere filmen, skal vise sig at være fatal. Jesus-filmen blev aldrig realiseret. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
