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.

What happens

Draget er en dansk kortfilm fra 2018 instrueret af Christian Bengtson. Filmen er et indblik i eneboeren Thomas’ liv, en ensom og mystisk kvægfarmer med en mørk fortid, hvis eneste relationer og familie nu er de østeuropæiske staldarbejdere, han har ansat på sin gård. Med udgangspunkt i Hans Otto Jørgensens digtsamling Nåden, omsættes ordenes og lyrikkens poesi til en filmisk fortælling, en kortfilm om mænd og deres sønner. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
