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 follows a girl trying to express herself while constantly being aware of how she looks to others, including herself. It explores the difficulty of being a female who wants to tell stories through images while being used as an object for the male gaze.

What happens
Triptykon er en dansk eksperimentalfilm fra 1989 instrueret af Mette Strømfeldt efter eget manuskript. Triptykon handler om, hvordan det er at være pige og samtidig forsøge at komme til orde. Hvad indebærer det, at man er noget, der traditionelt er blevet brugt som blikfang, hvis man selv vil fortælle i billeder? Pigen i denne video er ikke kun fange i mænds og andre kvinders blikke. Hun er også fange i sit eget, fordi hun er så optaget af, hvordan hun 'ser ud'. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
