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.

How it feels

This Danish documentary from 1939 shows different types of schools and teaching in Greenland. In small settlements, a hunter reads with the children. In larger places, a teacher who is a catechist gives lessons using a blackboard and maps. At the colony in Godthaab there is a bigger school for children, and afterwards some students attend a two-year after-school program led by Danish teachers.

What happens

Skole og Kirkevæsen I er en dansk dokumentarisk optagelse fra 1939 instrueret af Jette Bang. På de små bopladser er det en fanger, der læser med børnene. På de større pladser har læreren gennemgået et 2-årigt kursus hos en præst og kaldes kateket. Undervisning ved udsted foregår i et klasselokale med tavleundervisning og landkort. Ved kolonien i Godthaab er der en større børneskole. Efter folkeskolen er der en to-årig efterskole, fx efterskolen i Egedesminde, som ledes af danske lærere. Her bor ca. 20 piger.
