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.

What happens

'''''''''' er en film instrueret af Annika Strøm. Annika Ström beskæftiger sig i sine værker med den nære virkelighed, først og fremmest som refleksioner over arbejdet som kunstner, forholdet til kunstinstitutionen og dens særegne sociale koder. Men hun inddrager også sin egen person som grundmateriale, familien og opvæksten i det sydlige Sverige. Ofte er der tale om små, narrative situationer, hvor det personlige stof bruges som en identifikationsfaktor, der med sødmefuld naivitet fører beskueren ind i værket og giver plads for dennes egne tanker omkring kunstens situation.
