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 film is a video opera that uses transcriptions of bird songs in different languages. The music alternates between viola da gamba and tenor, while the imagery shifts between lingering nature scenes and abstract visuals.

What happens
A loud sweet song er en musikvideo, der er instrueret af Ane Mette Ruge efter eget manuskript. »A Loud Sweet Song« er en videoopera, der er bygget op over autentiske, lyriske transskriptioner af fuglenes sang på forskellige sprog. Musikken for gamba og tenor skiftevis dominerer og akkompagnerer billedsiden, som har skarpe kontraster mellem det dvælende og det flaksende, naturbeskrivelsen og det abstrakte. Musikken til begge videoer er af Jan Goorissen. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
