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

Dansk - voffer det? er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1987, der er instrueret af Flemming la Cour efter eget manuskript. Dokumentarfilm om det danske sprog, dets tradition og om hvordan begreber opstår, hvoraf nogle bliver og andre hurtigt glider ud igen. Filmen handler også om, hvordan ord kan bruges til at udøve magt. På trods af vigtigheden ved at lære og kunne dansk, er dansktimerne i folkeskolen blevet voldsomt reduceret i de senere år.
