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

Hús í svefni (danska: Det Sovende Hus, eða ‚hið sofandi hús‘) er byltingakennd íslensk kvikmynd eftir Guðmund Kamban, en hann skrifaði líka frumsamið handrit. Á þeim tíma sem kvikmyndin kom út var venjan að gera kvikmyndir eftir skáldsögum eða leikritum. Myndin var tekin í Danmörku, en framleiðslan fór bæði fram á Íslandi og Danmörku. Handrit þetta var einnig gefið út í bókarformi hér á landi undir nafninu Meðan húsið svaf. Segir sagan frá ungum hjónum, lífi þeirra, ástum og örlögum. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
