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 filmmaker follows the trail of silent film star Asta Nielsen, who was once as famous as Charlie Chaplin. She visits people and places linked to Nielsen, using old film clips and photos to understand why this Danish legend is not widely remembered today.

What happens
En rød løber for Asta Nielsen er en dansk portrætfilm fra 2016 instrueret af Eva Tind. Filmen er forfatteren og kunstneren Eva Tinds personlige dokumentarfilm om stumfilmstjernen Asta Nielsen. I filmen følger Eva i fodsporene på Danmarks første verdensstjerne drevet af en undren over, hvorfor Asta Nielsen, der i datiden var lige så stor som Charles Chaplin, ikke har efterladt sig et mere markant eftermæle i nutiden. Steder, personer, udvalgte stumfilmklip og fotos skaber en kollektiv dokumentarisk fortælling med omdrejningspunkt i Asta Nielsen, der åbner en dør til hendes liv og univers i nutiden i et forsøg på at gribe hende, før hun glider ud i glemslen.
