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 short experimental film that shows the movement within movement. It uses simple repeated images to create complex patterns and forms.

What happens

Livets Dans er en film instrueret af Flemming Brantbjerg. En fortælling om bevægelsen i bevægelsen. Det enkleste enkle, der ved sin gentagelse skaber det mest komplicerede, det mest rodede, det mest ordnede. Et minimalistisk billeddigt, der ved sit krav om opmærksom overgivelse giver mulighed for at finde mange forskellige bevægeformer og mønstre i et billede, der tilsyneladende er ens i lange perioder.
