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.

What happens

Norges-Filmen er en norsk dokumentar-stumfilm fra 1927. Filmen ble laget av Tancred Ibsen som i 1925 kom tilbake til Norge etter to år i USA. Erfaringen han hadde opparbeidet seg i utlandet, blant annet fra et kortere arbeidsoppdrag for det amerikanske filmstudioet MGM, brukte han til å lage en serie kortfilmer for å fremme turistlandet Norge - i samarbeid med den danske regissøren Georg Schneevoigtt. Filmene ble samlet og vist for pressen 22. oktober 1927 i Paladsteatret i Oslo under tittelen Norges-Filmen. Filmen besto av fem deler som hver kunne sees selvstendig. Filmene ble ikke innlevert til sensur hos Statens filmkontroll og regnes i dag som tapt. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
