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

Det sublime er en dansk kortfilm fra 1998, der er instrueret af Jonas Elmer efter manuskript af Ola Saltin. For billedkunstneren Jon er der nedtælling til fernisering på hans nye udstilling. Hans emsige gallerist er spændt, og Jon kæmper med sig selv i atelieret foran de hvide lærreder. Når opsprættede dyr i formaldehyd ikke længere er nok, hvordan kan den arme kunstner så overgå sine kollegaer og nå det sublime? En satire over den aktuelle kunstscenes krav om overskridelse og provokation. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
