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

In October 1943, a Danish fishing boat builder helps Jewish refugees escape Nazi-occupied Denmark by sailing them across the strait to neutral Sweden. The film follows his efforts and the risks faced by those hiding in a church attic.

What happens

Fuglene over sundet er en dansk dramafilm fra 2016, instrueret af Nicolo Donato. Inspirationen til filmen har Donato fra sin egen familie. Hans farfar var bådebygger i fiskerbyen Gilleleje, hvorfra mange jøder sejlede i sikkerhed til det neutrale Sverige. Store dele af filmen er optaget i Gilleleje på kirkeloftet, i den gamle bydel, der lige bortset fra moderne gadebelysning stod som en færdig kulisse for en række af optagelserne samt på Gilleleje Havn. Noget af filmen blev også optaget i Maribo, hvor lokale medvirkede som statister. En stor del af filmen er optaget med håndholdt kamera og Det Danske Filminstitut støttede produktionen med 6,8 mio. kr. Fuglene over sundet er inspireret af virkelige hændelser i Gilleleje i oktober 1943. På rollelisten er bl.a. Danica Curcic, David Dencik, Laura Bro, Jacob Cedergren, Nicolas Bro, Signe Egholm Olsen, Mikkel Boe Følsgaard og Lars Brygmann. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
