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

Familie II er en dokumentarfilm fra 1997 instrueret af Marie Rømer Westh efter manuskript af Marie Rømer Westh. Billeder og sekvenser hentet fra familiesammenkomster, weekendbesøg osv. Værket er tænkt som et familieportræt og som et portræt af familieportrættet. Samtidigt vil det formelt søge at forvalte aspekter omkring begreberne familie og beslægtethed. FAMILIE II er et uddrag fra FAMILIE I et installationsprojekt, men er samtidigt et selvstændigt værk. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
