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 documentary follows potter Hans-Jorgen Knudsen as he makes a traditional birth pot in his workshop. The film shows each step of the complex process and how the clay itself influences the final result.

What happens

Pottemageren - en håndværker er en film instrueret af Erik Skibsted efter eget manuskript. Filmen er optaget hos pottemager Hans-Jørgen Knudsen i Præstø - hvis far og farfar begge var pottemagere og arbejdede på samme måde, som Knudsen gør det i dag. Værkstedet har heller ikke ændret sig nævneværdigt. I filmen følges hvordan en barselspotte bliver til. Det ses hvor kompliceret arbejdsprocessen er, og hvordan det levende materiale bestemmer udfaldet. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
