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

An 80 year old woman named Inger owns a worn down house at the edge of a forest. She hosts a shifting group of drifters, dreamers and oddballs who come and go. The film watches how she cares for them and how their lives unfold together.

What happens

Inger & det dårlige selskab er en dansk portrætfilm fra 2023 instrueret af Jella Bethmann. I et lettere ramponeret hus i skovbrynet overfor Sorø Station leves særligt skrøbelige liv. Huset ejes af Inger – og bebos af en ukurant flok af dagdrivere, drømmere og landevejsriddere. Nogle kommer forbi til en kop kaffe og afsætning af dagens røverhistorie, mens andre bliver hængende år ud og år ind, mens de venter på deres chance. Inger er 80 år og til stadighed omdrejningspunkt for den brogede flok. Filmen følger Inger og giver et kærligt blik på de op- og nedture, der følger med et udsat sind. Den viser, hvordan kærlighed, omsorg og accept kan ændre alt – også i et lettere ramponeret hus på kanten af skovbrynet. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
