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 short documentary about children losing their baby teeth. Kids talk about their wobbly teeth, losing them, and getting money from the tooth fairy. The film uses teeth as a metaphor for growing up.

What happens

Rokketanden er en børnefilm fra 1995 instrueret af Klaus Kjeldsen. Far, jeg har fået min første rokketand. Den rokker, når jeg snakker. Den gad ikke at falde ud, men havnede i risengrøden. Jeg har mindst tabt fem. Pludselig falder de ud. Jeg får lommepenge og tandpenge. Man ser lidt dum ud med et kæmpehul. Alle de andre har nye fortænder. Når man taber en tand, vokser man. Ingen tænder, babytænder, rokketænder, mælketænder og gebis. Morfar kan tage sine tænder ud. Små eksperter i rokketænder udtaler sig kyndigt i dette lille filmdigt, og tændernes skiften bliver til en smuk metafor for selve livets gang. Indgår også på vhs i antologien »Så er der forfilm 2« og på dvd i antologien »Filmhits for børn 1«. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
