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

Der Ameisenstaat ist ein Kulturfilm von Wolfram Junghans und Ulrich K. T. Schulz von 1935. Die Funktionsweise in einem Ameisenhaufen folgt einer festen Ordnung: jedes Tier hat seine Aufgaben und funktioniert in einem hierarchischen Gemeinwesen. So kann dessen Erhalt durch Nahrungsbeschaffung und im Kampf gegen die äußeren Feinde gewährleistet werden.vgl. Ramón Reichert, Tierfilme im Dritten Reich, in Carsten Würmann, Ansgar Warner (Hrsg.), Im Pausenraum des 'Dritten Reiches, Lang, Bern 2008, S. 47, mit kurzen Inhaltsangaben (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
