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 is a short film from Denmark. It tells a classic story about good and evil through movement. The meaning comes from the motion of images rather than words.

What happens

Black and White City er en kortfilm fra 1993 instrueret af Trine Vester. Form-atelieret/Værksted for Grundmagi er et samarbejde mellem Statens Filmcentral og Danmarks Radio ved animatoren Lejf Marcussen. Projektet formål har været at give nogle instruktører mulighed for, over en længere periode, i størst mulig frihed, at fordybe sig i de levende billeders umiddelbare materiale. Trine Vester skriver om sine produktioner: »Fantasie Impromptu« er billedvariationer over Chopins klaverstykke - en undersøgelse af det synkrone og det asynkrone. »Black and White City« er en klassisk fortælling om ondt og godt - en dramaturgisk symfoni i et billedsprog, hvor forståelsen udspringer af bevægelsen.
