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

Forestillinger om min far er en dansk kortfilm fra 2019 instrueret af Emil Nørgaard Munk. Emil Munks far bliver pludselig fundet død i sin lejlighed på et tidspunkt, hvor Emil og faren er følelsesmæssigt fremmedgjort fra hinanden. Derfor beslutter Emil sig for at have en sidste samtale med ham efter døden. Med hjælp fra to skuespillere genoplives kærlige og smertefulde minder. På samme tid har far og søn en chance for at tale om kærlighed, revolution, alkoholmisbrug og meningen med livet. Under processen indser Emil, at han er nødt til at rejse til Palæstina for at skabe et nyt billede af sin far. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
