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.
How it feels
A 12 minute Danish documentary shows the work of a survey expedition in Iceland in 1939. The team sets up camp, loads horses with supplies, and travels through volcanic terrain to measure the land. They build stone markers and film geysers and hot springs at the end.
