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

A dissatisfied hermit thinks he will feel better if he meets other people in an otherwise empty world. He goes out, is met and rejected by others because he does not have the same passport as them, then returns home while developing gratitude.

What happens

Pass Port er en dansk eksperimentalfilm fra 2016 instrueret af Alex Burceff og Lars Mikkes. En utilfreds eneboer tror han vil få det bedre, hvis han møder andre mennesker i den ellers tomme verden. Men efter at være draget ud, blevet mødt og afvist af mennesker, fordi han ikke havde samme pas som dem, drager han tilbage til sit hjem samtidigt med, at han udvikler sig og bliver taknemlig.
