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

Elderly men and women gather at a decaying cycling track. They are there to carry out an old ritual that puts life into perspective. The film blends music video style with a story about coming to terms with death.

What happens

Slowly, Slowly er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 2013 instrueret af Troels Primdahl efter eget manuskript. En flok ældre mænd og kvinder mødes på en forfalden cykelbane. Tilsyneladende ikke for at cykle. De har i stedet tænkt sig at fuldbyrde et gammelkendt ritual - noget der sætter livet i perspektiv. Instruktøren ønsker med denne film at lave en musikvideo, der samtidig fortæller en nærværende historie om den svære forsoning med livets mest basale grundvilkår - døden. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
