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.

What happens

Charlottes rejse til Grønland er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 2012 instrueret af Birgitte Kristensen. Charlottes rejse til Grønland baserer sig på en rejse til Grønland, som jeg gennemfører i en anden persons sted. Min veninde Charlotte døde af kræft, inden hun nåede at komme afsted på sin planlagte tur til Grønland. Efter hendes død besluttede jeg mig for at gennemføre rejsen i hendes sted. Som en gestus til hende - et umuligt ønske om, at hun alligevel skulle få lov til at opleve Grønland. Filmen er skabt på baggrund af en videoinstallation med samme titel. Filmen skærer i løbet af sine 10 minutters varighed ind til benet af denne særlige rejses betydning og de store spørgsmål om identitet, forsvinding og glemsel, som historien rejser.
