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 from 1992 uses scratch and key techniques to layer images and sounds. It shows people circling each other in a state of unfulfilled desire, creating patterns that both connect and trap them.

What happens

Sværm er en dansk eksperimentalfilm fra 1992 instrueret af Jens Wille og Simon K. Boberg efter deres manuskript. Vi sværmer om hinanden uden at turde indlede den kontakt, vi så febrilsk ønsker at opnå. Derved skaber vi mønstre, der knytter os sammen, men samtidigt låser os fast i hver vores 'lag' af uforløst længsel. Ved scratch og keyteknik bringer videoen disse lag af længsel sammen, og forsøger samtidigt at bryde ud af mønstrene. Noget flygter i græsset... (?Schade!!) (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
