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 small country is absorbed into a larger state union. The film tells this story as a medieval fable about power and its methods of forcing its will on the people.

What happens

Vasal er en dansk eksperimentalfilm fra 1975 instrueret af Hans Løkke og efter manuskript af Hans Løkke og Bent Holm. Filmen er en teateragtig, dramatisk beretning om et lille lands indlemmelse i en stor statssammenslutning. En middelalderfabel om magtens foragt for folket og om dens metoder til at gennemtvinge sine hensigter. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
