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

Thyborøn er en dansk dokumentarisk optagelse fra 1939. Et tog med arbejdere kører gennem klitterne, havnen med dens fiskerkuttere og fisketørring, kutteren Theodora på åbent vand, et kæntret skib ud for kysten, Thyborøn by med havnen, fiskeindustri og kyststrækningen med sten- og betonmoler. Der arbejdes med kystforstærkning, store sten og sand transporteres med jernbanetog. En fisker lander sin fangst på havnen. Mindestene over omkomne fiskere på kirkegården. Mere kystsikringsarbejde.
