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

Christine Swane er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1989 instrueret af Michael Kirkegaard. Christine Swane (1876-1960) er født i Kerteminde som søster til maleren Johannes Larsen. Hendes kunstneriske løbebane starter som en af de fynske malere. I 1910 giftede hun sig med Sigurd Swane. Ved skilsmissen efter 10 års ægteskab forlod hun fynboernes stil og fandt sin helt egen verden i maleriet. Lars Swane, søn af Christine og Sigurd Swane, fortæller til Erland Porsmose.
