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

KU-filmen 1937-1940 er en dansk propagandafilm fra 1949. En film om Konservativ Ungdoms (KU) arbejde og politik. Mens store dele af den danske ungdom lever et sorgløst liv, er andre klar til at forsvare landet og de danske værdier, fremstillet i optagelser af landskaber, kirker og ungdommen. KU ønsker et stærkt forsvar under parolen: "Alt liv er betinget af forsvarsvilje, selv hos den mindste skabning. Selvopgivelse betyder død og udslettelse". KU ønsker et frit og rentabelt landbrug. Arbejdet med at hverve medlemmer og udbrede KU-politik på møder, marcher m.m. Valgplakater: "Danmark er Broernes Land. Men - rød Bro til Moskva - Nej!" Når KU holder møder er der forstyrrelser fra 'de andre' - optagelser af slagsmål på Rådhuspladsen og mellemtekst: "Siden 1932 er 221 KU'ere slået ned". Det medfører tiltaler efter 'Uro-loven'. Stort KU-møde i Forum, hvor 15.000 er mødt op for at høre John Christmas Møller tale. Borgmester Alfred Bindslev indleder. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
