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

This experimental film from 1989 uses abstract imagery to represent the nature of change. It shows a mental or emotional state building up tension until a sudden transformation into a new state with different rules.

What happens

Video digte er en film instrueret af Flemming Brantbjerg. Hensigten er, i en bestemt form - den abstrakte billedflade - at fortælle en historie om forandringens væsen. Et billedforløb beskriver en tilstand, mentalt, sjæleligt, følelsemæssigt. En spænding bygges op, billedet mættes, spændingen stiger - skift - tilstanden forandres, et kvantespring, en kvalitativ forandring. Det nye billede har nye regler, nye love at følge.
