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 documentary about life's fragility in a cancer ward after hours. It follows a patient's radiation treatment and juxtaposes empty chemotherapy rooms with the rhythmic cycles of treatment. The film uses poetic questions and musical structure to invite reflection on the human struggle to extend life.

What happens

Livskraft livskræft er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 2020 instrueret af René Georg Johansen. Hvad skal der til for at livet kan fortsætte? Livets skrøbelighed sættes under lup efter kræftafdelingens lukketid. Ved at følge en patients strålebehandling under jorden, får vi adgang til menneskets konkrete kamp for at forlænge livet på Jorden. Livskraft, Livskræft har ladet sig inspirere af musikstykket som genre og sammensætter gentagelser, vers, omkvæd og rytme, når der svæves mellem scener med strålebehandling og tomme kemolokaler. De naive spørgsmål og poetiske ord inviterer seernes tanker på himmelflugt og besjæler billedernes tomhed og strålebehandlingens ritual. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
