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.

Filmen starter med afsløringen af Bjørnebrønden på Bjørnebrøndenden 30. juli 1939. Jubilæumsdagene var fyldt med forskellige begivenheder, herunder åbningsceremonien med kong Kong Christian X og dronning Alexandrine, hvor borgmester H.P.
