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

Hvad Havet gemmer er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1931 instrueret af Axel Gerfalk. Fra vikingetiden og frem har danskerne levet af det, de kunne fange og fiske op af havene omkring Danmark. Der er gennem tiderne blevet fisket på mange forskellige måder. Nu foregår næsten alt fiskeri med garn, som fremstilles på store fabrikker. Fiskerflåden i Esbjerg Havn. Med støtte fra den danske regering fisker danske skibe nu sild ved Island. Sortering af fladfisk i havn. Der fiskes rødspætter, sild, dybvandsrejer og andet. Der sættes navn på de forskellige fiskearter. På offentlige fiskeauktioner omsættes for omkring 10 mio. kroner årligt. Staten udsætter årligt tusinder af rødspætteyngel fra Vesterhavet til andre farvande. De fragtes på biler fra Esbjerg til Fredericia og sættes ud under kontrollerede forhold.
