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

What happens

Gammeldansen er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1989, der er instrueret af Irene Werner Stage. En aften i '57'. Om vinteren mødes foreningens medlemmer hver søndag aften til dans og 'en bid mad'. Aftenen forløber efter et bestemt ritual og slutter af med, at formanden synger 'Auf Wiedersehen'. "Det fine ved gammeldansen er, at energien bliver mellem den gruppe mennesker, der danser", siges det i filmen. Og netop energien og de ældres samvær i dansen er speciel for '57'.
