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

Saga Teatret 1938 er en dansk dokumentarisk optagelse fra 1938. En ældre mand ligger i sengen i en nedslidt og rodet lejlighed. To mænd drikker øl på et værelse. En kvinde i døråbning med kost. Der er salg af køer i baggården. Optagelser af baggårde, huse og hverdagsliv på gaden.Der er formentlig tale om ejendommene Vesterbrogade nr. 23-25 som skulle inddrages i John Olsens biografprojekt, hvor omkring 25-30 gamle større og mindre huse blev revet ned. Det var mest værkstedsbygninger og mindre industrielle virksomheder. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
