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

At gå op ad væggen er en portrætfilm fra 1997 instrueret af Anker Li efter eget manuskript. Lige siden sin debut har Villy Sørensen været en af dansk åndslivs mest markante skikkelser, både i sit litterære og i sit filosofiske virke. I dette portræt redegør han for sit liv gennem erindringen om sine forældre, om en skelsættende oplevelse som barn, om kampen mod sit vemod og befrielsen ved at opdage litteraturen. Om kærlighedens gennembrud og væsen, om sine studieår og den litterære debut. Om de dogmatiske 60'ere, filosofi, religiøsitet og om eros. Om sin plagsomme ryg og tanken om at skulle have levet et helt andet liv. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
