Eye Filmmuseum

Film Catcher is the interactive film installation at Eye Filmmuseum in The Netherlands. By searching visually, visitors discover how beautiful and diverse film can be. With more than thirty search filters, visitors conjure up ever-changing collections of images, taken from the 54,000 films in the Eye collection.

In this film room, visitors can immerse themself in images from a thousand films from Eye’s rich collection and search them to their heart’s content. There are nine tablets placed in fixed places in the room, on which they can choose from multiple filters, such as crowd, flowers, bicycles, dance, drawing, or landscape. By applying such a filter, they conjure up surprising image collections. Has a clip caught their eye? Visitors can capture it on their tablet and watch the entire film or read more about it.

Kiss the Frog was responsible for the development of the tablet app, the projection software and the development of the associated backend system. In addition, Kiss the Frog worked on the integration with the hardware for the positioning of the tablets and the integration with the show control system.
