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 experimental Danish film blends planned and spontaneous footage. It uses poetry and imagery to explore the unconscious mind and the balance between life and death, focusing on the struggle to protect the life-giving from destruction.

What happens

Blasikanda er en eksperimentalfilm fra 1984 instrueret af Line Storm. Filmen er en blanding af nøje planlægning og spontane optagelser. Navnet er en lyd, en rytme og det er filmens ide at være som livets strøm i evigt kredsløb og bevægelse. Den er et stykke poesi og et forsøg på, billedligt, at vise ind i det ubevidste som et vigtigt led i bevidstgørelsen af balancen mellem liv og død. Kampen for at beskytte det livgivende mod destruktion. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
