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 examines Hans Christian Andersen through the lens of his language and writing tools. It draws on analyses of his fairy tales, letters, and diaries to explore his rapid pacing, attention to small and overlooked things, and how he brought an oral quality to his written work.

What happens

En gal, en elsker eller en poet er en dansk portrætfilm fra 2005 med instruktion og manuskript af Anne Regitze Wivel. Filmen beskriver H.C. Andersen og hans værktøj, sproget. I filmen citeres Johannes V. Jensen for, om Andersen at have sagt: "Han sprang sproget over". H.C. Andersen var en kompliceret sjæl og et rejsende menneske. Gennem analyser og samtaler om Andersens eventyr, breve og dagbøger trænger filmen ind på forfatterens sprog, det hurtige tempo, sansen for alt hvad der er småt og underkuet, på hvordan barnet i enhver sanser og udtrykker sig og på den mundtlige udtryksform, som han omsætter i skrift.
