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 Swedish documentary uncovers the life of singer Ulla Billquist, who was a beloved star during Sweden's wartime years but whose personal story remained untold. Using archive footage, recordings, and interviews with family and experts, it pieces together why she took her own life and why her death received little attention.

What happens

När molnen skingras är en svensk dokumentärfilm från 2016 i regi av Lasse Zackrisson. Filmen handlar om sångerskan Ulla Billquist, som var beredskapsårens mest berömda röst i Sverige, men vars egen berättelse hittills inte har berättats fullt ut. Där antyds även att Hasse Ekmans film Flicka och hyacinter handlar om Ulla Billquists liv. Med hjälp av arkivmaterial, fotografier och skivinspelningar samt släktingar, vänner, kollegor och experter försöker filmen pussla ihop vem hon egentligen var och vad som hände henne. Ett indiciepussel presenteras, liknande ett kriminaldrama. Varför orkade den mytomspunna och älskade artisten inte leva vidare? Och varför blev det bara en liten notis i pressen när hon som var en av Sveriges allra största artister tog sitt liv? (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
