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

Three people try to connect with each other. They struggle because they cannot see one another. One character sees only their own reflection in a window, showing how we can be trapped in our own world. The film finds beauty in the persistence of reaching out.

What happens

Satellit er en dansk kortfilm fra 2013 instrueret af Maia Elisabeth Sørensen. Filmen handler om tre forskellige mennesker, der forsøger at skabe kontakt. Men de forstår ikke, hvad de andre forsøger at fortælle, fordi de ikke kan se hinanden. På et tidspunkt er der kun en rude mellem to af karaktererne, men karakteren udenfor ser kun sit eget spejlbillede. Når vi er i vores eget univers, kan vi ikke se hinanden. Men der er noget smukt ved, at vi bliver ved med at søge kontakten. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
