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.

What happens

Til døden skiller jer ad er en film instrueret af Jørgen Vestergaard efter manuskript af Jørgen Vestergaard. En skildring af danske bryllupstraditioner, som de tager sig ud i dag, og et oplæg til debat om ægteskab kontra papirløst samliv m.v. En kirkelig og borgerlig vielse anno 1977 vises i en sammenlignende montage, der kommenteres af de implicerede par. Registreringen af bryllupsforløbene (kirke/rådhus, familiefest i forsamlingshus og hjemme, brudevalsen(e), polterabend, brudekjole, ring osv.) kombineres med udsagn og meninger om bryllup. En tradition, som de fleste på et tidspunkt i deres liv må tage stilling til. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
