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 a pas de deux between two people. They explore a relationship on the edge of love and friendship in a timeless space with a large mirror as the only reference.

What happens

Ties er en film med ukendt instruktør. En moderne pas-de-deux, om et forhold på grænsen mellem kærlighed og venskab i et tidløst rum, hvor den eneste reference er en stor spejlvæg. De to står hinanden så nær, at de er bange for at miste sig selv og hinanden. Dansen er et drømmeagtigt forløb, hvor de to mennesker er sammen og alene med deres oplevelser og forventninger.
