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

A mysterious fog spreads across Copenhagen, causing anyone who touches it to disappear. A man is sent to investigate the quarantine zone where a sick woman has chosen to remain because she feels she has nothing left to live for. They meet in the zone, bringing together two different perspectives on life and death.

What happens

We Are Human After All er en kortfilm instrueret af Jarl Andreas Sidelmann efter eget manuskript. En tåge breder sig over København. Alle der kommer i kontakt med tågen, fordamper tilsyneladende og bliver til ingenting. En mand sendes til karantænezonen for at undersøge tågen. Her bor en syg kvinde. Hun har valgt at blive tilbage, for hun har alligevel ingenting at leve for. Til gengæld er hun ikke bange for at dø. I karantænezonen møder de hinanden. To tilstedeværelser, to livssyn, der søger efter balance. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
