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.

What happens

Rejsen mod en fødsel er en kortfilm fra 1989 instrueret af Maria Mac Dalland efter manuskript af Maria Mac Dalland. En poetisk visualisering af de dybe sammenhænge mellem følelser og krop under graviditet og fødsel. Bevidsthedens forsøg på at forstå sammenhængen mellem det indre og det ydre univers. Forventningen og glæden - der i mørke glimt brydes af angst for den verden barnet fødes i. Den voldsomme oplevelse af kroppens urkræfter og elementernes rasen under forløsningen. Et barn er født.
