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

Three elderly people who have never met in person listen to the same local radio station every day. They know each other's voices and follow each other's daily lives. The film is an observational snapshot of aging alone and the faithful community that forms through the radio.

What happens

Radiofolket er en film instrueret af Dorte Høeg Brask. Inger, Bendt og Roma har aldrig mødtes i det virkelige liv. Alligevel føler de, at de kender hinanden. For hver dag står de op og lytter med på den samme lokalradio. De kender hinandens stemmer og følger med i hinandens hverdag. I opture og nedture, når helbredet skranter, og når familien svigter. Et uforpligtende og unikt fællesskab, der plejes med stor trofasthed. En film om at blive gammel og alene. Et øjebliksbillede af et Danmark vi sjældent møder. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
