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

Besættelsen af Viborg 9. April 1940 er en dansk dokumentarisk optagelse fra 1940. Tyske tropper har invaderet Viborg omkring kl. 12 d. 9. april 1940. En motoriseret deling af de tyske styrker ses bl.a. på Hjultorvet i Viborg. Hedeselskabets hovedbygning blev misidentificeret som rådhuset og midlertidigt besat af tyskerne, der hejste det nazistiske hagekors i selskabets flagstang. Selskabets direktør måtte igennem svære forhandlinger, før det lykkedes at få Værnemagten til igen at rømme kontorerne. For også at undgå, at tyskerne igen brugte flagstangen, lod direktøren den pille ned. I maj 1945 kom den tilbage på sin plads. Desuden ses bl.a. tysk politi dirigere trafikken, og afslappede tyske menige stille op til fotografering. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
