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

This Danish experimental film is about a dinner that becomes a turning point. It uses shadow and repetition to explore a simple but strange scene.

What happens

Star dog er en eksperimentalfilm fra 1991 instrueret af Jens Tang efter manuskript af Paw Eg. Nu taber du det igen, dette er skyggernes nadver. Det skal du ikke have så svært ved at vænne dig til. Ofte har vi tænkt på nadveren som vendepunkt. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
