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 young engineer decides to make a video self-portrait for a job application. As he sets up the camera and monitor, he begins to question his own identity and the process spirals out of control.

What happens
Image er en dansk kortfilm fra 1987, der er instrueret af Steen Skalhede efter manuskript af ham selv og Lene Birkholm. En ung mand, ingeniør, beslutter sig for at lave et selvportræt på video. Han skal bruge det til en jobansøgning. Kameraet gøres klart, TV-skærmen står så han kan se, hvordan optagelserne virker på ham. Den unge mand fra det strømlinede erhvervsliv går i gang, konfronteres med sig selv - hvem er jeg? - og et dramatisk forløb tager fart. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
