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

Sønderhodagen er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 2014 instrueret af Line Grevang. Filmen handler om Sønderhodag på Fanø, der har været afholdt siden 1928 af Fonden Gamle Sønderho, med det formål at fejre og fremvise stedets bryllupstraditioner fra søfartstiden. Centralt på dagen er brudekronerne, og filmen følger tre unge par i sommeren 2013, der iklæder sig de lokale brudedragter og opfører bryllupstraditionerne for lokale og turister. Igennem to interviews, et med en lokal kunstner, der fortæller om arbejdet med at lave nye brudekroner til Sønderho i 2011, og et andet med Fondens formand, der giver indblik i den betydning Sønderhodag har for arbejdet med at bevare de lokale traditioner, går filmen tæt på forskellige tilgange til at bevare den lokale kulturarv fra søfartstiden.
