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

Danmark for Folket er en propagandafilm fra 1937 instrueret af Valdemar Lauritzen. Socialdemokratisk propagandafilm produceret på foranledning af Hovedorganisationens Informations- og Propagandaafdeling. Skabt til at understøtte partiprogrammet, der havde sloganet "Danmark for Folket" frem mod valget i 1938. Filmen følger den unge lagerforvalter Hennings politiske vækkelse gennem mødet med den unge DSU'er Inger og partiets 'klare og fornuftige politik'. Filmen dækker flere af partiets aktiviteter, fra redaktionen af Socialdemokratiets avis, Social-Demokraten, over sangkor i DSU under ledelse af Harald Bergstedt og arbejderhøjskolen i Roskilde. Statsminister Thorvald Stauning har en stor rolle som taler på Roskilde Højskole, mens Ib Schønberg og Arthur Jensen lægger stjernestøv til portrættering af den godmodige splittelse mellem socialdemokrater og kommunister. Filmen er bygget op som en spillefilm med en kærlighedshistorie som den drivende kraft. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
