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

Vi bygger landet (We Build the Country) is a Norwegian film from 1936, directed by Olav Dalgard. The film is a so-called "workers' film" that was created on behalf of the Workers' Educational Association (Arbeidernes Opplysningsforbund, AOF) to motivate voters in the cities to vote for the Labor Party in the parliamentary elections in 1936. Together with Norge for folket (1936) and By og land hand i hand (1937), it is part of the so-called workers' film trilogy. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
