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 film poem built from rhythmic reflections and movements in water paired with realistic but freely processed water sounds. It explores the visual and auditory patterns of water without a narrative.

What happens

Akvarel er en dansk eksperimentalfilm fra 1970 instrueret af Knud Viktor efter eget manuskript. Et filmdigt bygget over rytmiske refleksbevægelser i vand og tilsvarende realistiske men frit bearbejdede vandlyde. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
