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 experimental film by Anna Neye Poulsen reflects on life as a performance. It asks who authors our existence and whether suicide can be seen as a dance rather than a tragedy.

What happens

Tobeornottobe er en eksperimentalfilm instrueret af Anna Neye Poulsen efter eget manuskript. "Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player / That struts and frets his hour upon the stage / And then is heard no more." (Macbeth V.5.) Hvem er forfatteren til bogen "Livet"? Er det os selv, en gud, William Shakespeare? Hvem bestemmer, hvornår vi fødes, lever og dør? Og hvem bestemmer, at beslutningen om at tage sit eget liv er en tragedie og ikke en triumferende dans over et glinsende parketgulv med Astair? (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
