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 Danish experimental film is built around a song about accumulating plutonium. It shows many quickly changing images and mixes facts about the toxic element with humor.

What happens

Plutonium er en dansk eksperimentalfilm fra 1975 instrueret af Hans Kragh-Jacobsen. Filmen er bygget over den kendte sang og indeholder et væld af billeder i hastig rytme. Ind imellem gives en række oplysninger om det giftige plutonium. Sangen hvis refræn lyder: VI AKKUMULERER, VI AKKUMULERER PLUTONIUM, giver både filmen ensidighed og humor, og selv om den næppe kan overbevise nogen, kan den nok fungere som aperitif til en hed energidebat.
