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
A 10 minute experimental film follows a man's life from birth to death. The world he encounters is conformist, preachy, and slightly grotesque.

What happens
The human race er en eksperimentalfilm instrueret af Nikolai Østergaard efter eget manuskript. Filmen bringer os på 10 min. gennem en mands liv fra fødsel til død. Den verden, der møder ham, er ensrettende, formanende og en anelse grotesk. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
