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

Pigen uden skygge er en kortfilm fra 1990 instrueret af Susanne Hvidtfeldt efter manuskript af Susanne Hvidtfeldt. En kvinde opdager, at hun er ulykkelig gravid og tvinges til at gøre op med sin forestilling om liv og især skyld. Da hun ikke magter denne opgave, giver hun i stedet sig selv rollen som hævnende ærkeengel og forsøger at overbevise manden om sin skyld og frugtbarhed. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
