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

Den nye Bro over Masnedsund er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1937. Opførelsen af en 200 meter lang jernbane- og vejbro over Masnedsund, som skal erstatte den gamle fra 1888. Brofagene monteres på land ved Masnedø og bugseres på pontoner op til Masnedsund. Den 12. december 1935 blev den gamle Masnedsundbro påsejlet af en damper, hvorved det sydlige brofag styrtede i vandet. Det skal hæves og fjernes. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
