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 short film follows four people in a provincial town over the course of one off-kilter day. Nothing much happens, as usual, and the film observes their ordinary routines with a social realist touch.

What happens

4000 Roskilde er en dansk kortfilm fra 2002 med instruktion og manuskript af Bo Mikkelsen. En fortælling fra provinsen om en skæv dag i fire menneskers liv, hvor der som altid sker - absolut ingenting. Dansk socialrealisme har ikke levet helt forgæves. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
