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

In Danish landscapes, a handful of people work to keep non-native plants and animals from taking over. There is no dialogue and no facts, just the sight of their ongoing efforts.

What happens

De invasive arter er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 2023 instrueret af David Krøyer. I de tætte krat, over vindblæste klitter og i de stille fyrreskove udspiller sig en daglig kamp for at fastholde tingenes tilstand i landskabets orden. En håndfuld mennesker har bestemt sig for at gøre, hvad der står i deres magt for at fastholde plante- og dyreriget, som det var. Deres største fjende i denne seje kamp er såkaldte invasive arter. Filmen er en slow cinema-dokumentar fra det danske landskab. Den følger 6 mennesker, der hver især kæmper en utrættelig kamp for at holde invasive dyr og planter i skak. Uden dialog eller fakta bydes publikum indenfor med et insisterende og til tider humoristisk blik, der akkompagneres af original komponeret musik af Magnus Plejdrup. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
