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

Poul Aggers hemmelige alfabet er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 2021 instrueret af Ulla Hjorth Nielsen. En af Danmarks virkelig originale billedkunstnere, (f. 1936), har gennem et langt liv forfulgt og raffineret sit udtryk indenfor maleri, grafik og skulptur. Han er en spændende personlighed, rundet af malerslægt og malerskole, og en god fortæller, der elsker at tale om sin metiér. Udnævnt til surrealist, men egentlig svær at sætte et dækkende prædikat på. Poul Agger er et godt eksempel på billedkunstens betydning i vores liv og virkelighed, for mødet med ham - både for kenderen og nybegynderen - er et inspirerende og morsomt – ja nærmest bevidsthedsudvidende bekendtskab. Filmens formsprog er enkelt, og former sig som en samtale om Poul Aggers personlige forhold til lærredet, leret og farverne. En poetisk skildring af et liv og en hverdag i symbiose med det personlige kunstneriske udtryk, som han trækker vejret igennem. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
