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

A documentary follows a couple of small farmers in southern Sweden through the changing seasons. The film has almost no dialogue and lets the images tell the story.

What happens

Tiden har inget namn är en svensk dokumentärfilm från 1989 i regi av Stefan Jarl. Filmen skildrar småbrukarparet Teodor och Asta Svensson i Valleberga på slätten strax öster om Ystad genom olika årstider. Filmen saknar nästan helt dialog och i stället talar bilderna för sig själva. Filmen mottog mycket positiva recensioner i pressen och tilldelades även specialpriset vid Yamagata International Documentary Festival. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
