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

A man rows a small boat to shore at dawn. He finds the place strange and tries to escape but he is caught in a trap and must adapt. This experimental video uses only images and sounds with no dialogue and is about karma and the cycle of life.

What happens

Orn... er en film instrueret af Fanny Knight. Det er tidlig morgen. Ude i horisonten anes en lille båd med en mand i. Han ror ind til kysten og går i land. Stedet er fremmedartet. Han bliver skræmt og forsøger at undslippe - men han er gået ind i en fælde - og han må indordne sig. Det er en video om karma og livets kredsløb. Billeder og lyde taler sammen, og der er ingen tale.
