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.

How it feels

A romantic drama set in the Arctic follows the lives of indigenous people and a love story that unfolds against the harsh northern landscape. A young man comes of age while navigating cultural clashes and personal desires.

What happens

Eskimo is a Norwegian–Danish adventure and drama film from 1930 directed by George Schnéevoigt. It starred Mona Mårtenson, Paul Richter, and Henki Kolstad, for whom it was his film debut at age 14. Had it not been for the fact that Denmark was also involved in the production, Eskimo would have been considered the first feature-length Norwegian sound film (rather than Den store barnedåpen from 1931). The language in the film is Norwegian. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
