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

In 1950s Copenhagen, a boy on his way to school stops and turns his attention inward. The film is an attempt to capture the fleeting nature of dream and memory through experimental storytelling, color, camera angles, and editing rhythms.

What happens

Filmtid/fortid er en dansk eksperimentalfilm fra 1981, der er instrueret af Søren Kloch og Henrik Sabinsky. En etude, eller genskabelse af noget fortidigt: En dreng i 50'ernes København, på vej til skole, stopper og vender sit blik indad. Filmen er et forsøg på at fastholde et så flygtigt stof som drøm og erindring på film. Virkemidler er eksperimenter med det fortællemæssige forløb, med filmens farvekarakter, kameraindstillinger og klipperytme. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
