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 series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

This is a Danish adult puppet Christmas calendar series that parodies a classic 1970s children's show. It moves the action to a modern concrete suburb and uses satire to comment on contemporary society.

What happens

Yallahrup Færgeby er en dansk voksen-dukkejulekalender. Den havde premiere på DR2 den 1. december 2007. Yallahrup Færgeby er i sit visuelle udtryk en parodi på DR1s klassiske dukkejulekalender Jullerup Færgeby fra 1974 – men sat ind i en ny og tidssvarende kontekst. Serien foregår i en betonforstad, som trækker på elementer fra Brøndby Strand, Avedøre Stationsby, Hundige, Vollsmose og Gellerup. Daværende redaktør på DR Ung, journalist Mads Brügger, er idémanden bag Yallahrup Færgeby og DR2-journalist Nanna Westh er hovedforfatter på den satiriske serie. Serien er instrueret af Rune "Kalle" Bjerkø og produceret af Bjarke Ahlstrand. I maj 2008 blev serien nomineret til en europæisk tv-pris. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
