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

Two filmmakers, A and B, are assigned to make a film about Denmark. As they edit the footage, they argue over how to present the material and what the narrator should say, turning their disagreement into a duel of images.

What happens

Danmark A+B er en dansk film fra 1976 med instruktion og manuskript af Kristen Bjørnkjær. To filmfolk, A og B, skal i fællesskab lave en film om Danmark. Ved klippebordet kommer de op at skændes om, hvordan stoffet skal fremlægges, og hvad speakeren skal sige. Deres skænderi former sig som en duel på billeder. "Danmark A +B" fortæller noget om mediemanipulation, men er også et portræt af Danmark. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
