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 documentary floats across the surface of the Øresund strait, sometimes going underwater or onto land. It has no plot, just images, sounds, and music that show the beauty of light and nature.

What happens

Øresund er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 2003 instrueret af Steen Herdel efter eget manuskript. "»Øresund« er en musikalsk billedfortælling, der bevæger sig frit ved overfladen af Øresund, men også bringer os under vand og op på land. Det er stemninger i lys og bevælgelse, der beskriver kærligheden til elementernes og naturens samspil. Filmen har ingen handling, men tager os med på eventyr og finder det, vi ikke selv får øje på. Det er reallyde og musik. Hvert billede er et kunstværk, hvor lyset er hovedpersonen, et naturalistisk og lyrisk udtryk, der forbinder, nedbryder og opbygger gamle og nye traditioner indenfor film og billedkunst."
