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
This silent comedy from 1928 pokes fun at the big historical epics that were popular in Sweden at the time. It tells a story about King Erik XIV but treats his life like a joke instead of a serious drama.

What happens
Erik XIV är en svensk svartvit stumfilm från 1928 i regi av Sam Ask och Otto Berch och med manus av Ask. Filmen var Asks första och enda regiuppdrag och är en parodi på de historiska filmer (bland andra Karl XII och Fänrik Ståls sägner) som hade dominerat det svenska filmutbudet den närmast föregående perioden.
