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

A young woman lives through what becomes her final day. The film follows her quiet, ordinary moments as an unseen darkness closes in.

What happens

Glasmuren er en kortfilm instrueret af Aage Rais-Nordentoft efter manuskript af Aage Rais-Nordentoft. Vi ser næsten lykkelige ud i solen, mens vi forbløder fra sår, vi ikke ved noget om. Tomas Tranströmer ord indleder denne mørke novellefilm om den sidste dag i en ung kvindes liv. Et stilsikkert psykologisk drama af den debuterende instruktør, der i 1996 fik meget ros for sin første spillefilm »Anton«. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
