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

This Danish documentary argues that silent films were never truly silent. The film historian Carl Nørrested traces the development of sound in cinema from phonograph records to synchronized sound on film. It shows early devices, tests, and clips from directors like D.W. Griffith and Walt Disney.

What happens

Fra øje til øre er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1997 med instruktion og manuskript af Carl Schenstrøm Nørrested. Stumfilm har aldrig været stumme. Det er noget filmmuseerne har opfundet, påstår filmhistorikeren Carl Nørrested, der i denne passionerede dokumentarfilm beskriver udviklingen af lyd på lærredet. Fra grammofonplade til tonefilm, med billede og lyd afspillet synkront på samme strimmel. De første apparater demonstreres og de første tests vises, samt en masse andre historiske klip fra D.W. Griffith til Walt Disney og Vsevolod Pudovkin. Starten af Charles Lindberghs flyvetur over Atlanten opleves i tæt tåge, hvor kun tilskuernes hurraråb røber, at flyet er lettet fra jorden, og verdens første spillefilm med synkron sang og tale The Jazz Singer fra 1927.
