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

This documentary follows patients and their families at a Danish hospice. It explores the idea that as death approaches, the brain loses its sense of time, allowing a brief or endless experience of eternity. The film mixes real moments with dreamlike memories and fragments.

What happens

I remember when I die er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 2016 instrueret af Maria Bäck. Hvis du rent faktisk kunne fastholde et enkelt minde for evigt, hvad skulle det så være? I Remember When I Die er en rejse i bevidsthedens mysterium. Vi møder patienter og deres pårørende på et dansk hospice og kastes samtidig ud i en drømmeverden af erindringer og fragmenter. Døden, tidens gang og evigheden; store emner i en film, der ellers er baseret på en simpel idé: at tidsfornemmelsen ophører med at fungere i hjernen, idet man dør, og at man derfor i et kort - eller i virkeligheden meget langt - øjeblik har chancen for at opleve evigheden.
