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

Illustrated man er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1995 med instruktion og manuskript af Bent Staalhøj. Et moderne videoeventyr om kroppen som lærred for tatoveringer i S/H og farve som var de malet af Rouault, El Greco og Picasso. En mareridtsagtig drøm og rejse mod et rumskib og evigheden. En flugt væk fra den intense smerte og ind i en livsvarig identitetsforandring, som er det eneste ved ens eget udseende, man selv har valgt. En fortælling om at overvinde sine fordomme.
