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
Two elderly people sit alone, a woman in a church and a man in an estate. They remember their shared past and a love that was only physically fulfilled. The memories wake them from a dormant state and they move toward each other in a mental space of music and poetry, uniting in a large empty factory that awaits to release them from earthly life through the power of art not flesh.

What happens
Skymaskinen er en kortfilm instrueret af Jacob Schmidt-Madsen og Sune Schmidt-Madsen efter eget manuskript. To gamle mennesker sidder isoleret hver for sig - en kvinde i en kirke og en mand i et dødsbo. Begge mindes de deres fælles fortid og en kærlighed, som kun fuldbyrdedes i kødet. Minderne vækker parret fra deres dvaletilstand, og de går hinanden imøde i et mentalt rum af musik og digt - forenes i en stor fabrik, der ligger ensomt hen og venter på at forløse dem fra jordelivet gennem kunstens og ikke kødets kraft.
