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
Four men in Scandinavia and Portugal each collect and care for objects from the past. One gathers antiques, another sells paintings of rural scenes, a third runs a small museum of art fragments, and the fourth keeps his childhood home untouched in a forest. Their devotion to these fading worlds creates a mood of gentle sadness and longing.

What happens
Samlerne er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 2003 instrueret af Vibeke Vogel efter eget manuskript. Instruktørens udgangspunkt for at lave denne dokumentarfilm har været en fascination af den upåagtede kunst. "Ting, malerier, bestemte steder, der fastholder det, vi mindes og længes efter". I filmen medvirker fire mænd: Ulf i Sverige, som samler på antikviteter og bare gamle, godt brugte ting. Egon i Danmark, som sælger malerier med bondegårdsidyller, smukke solnedgange og abstrakte refleksioner. Jose, der forsøger at holde sammen på et museum fyldt med kunstfragmenter i en lille landsby i Portugal. Og Lars-Olof, der har ladet sit barndomshjem stå urørt midt ude i den svenske skov. Mændene vogter med ømhed og omtanke hver sin tabte verden. Her trives en særlig tilstand af vemodighed og længsel, som også er filmens. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
