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 follows the effort to reconstruct a lost 1984 concert by musician Lars Hug. It combines restored audio, interviews with the artists, and poetry readings to revisit that album and era.

What happens

City slang redux er en dokumentarfilm fra 2012 instrueret af Torben Skjødt Jensen efter eget manuskript. Den 21. oktober 1984 opførte Lars HUG to shows med sin første soloplade, City Slang på Svalegangen Teater i Århus under titlen "Lars' Autoophug". Begge shows blev optaget med tre kameraer. Optagelserne blev til et 27 minutters videoshow, der blev vist på DR TV i april 1985. Siden har ingen set noget til showet. I 2008 dukkede den gamle TV-master op og derefter er der blevet arbejdet på at finde yderligere klip og arkivmateriale fra City Slang-tiden. De gamle videooptagelser fra Århus er desværre gået tabt, men det er lykkedes at samle alle 11 numre fra albummet, der i filmen præsenteres med restaureret lydside. Filmen indeholder interviews med de involverede i projektet, både Lars HUG, Finn Verwollt og Kim Jansson, samt Søren Ulrik Thomsen, som i filmen læser digte fra sin egen samling op. Filmen har premiere præcis 30 år efter, at Søren Ulrik Thomsen debuterede med denne digtsamling. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
