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

Kongens Opraab til det danske Folk er en dansk dokumentarisk optagelse fra 1940. I en tekst, der blev udsendt før filmvisninger i danske biografer, opfordrer Kong Christian X folket til ro ved nazisternes invasion af Danmark d. 9. april 1940. Derefter følger Statsminister Staunings opfordring fra d. 27. september 1940 til, at befolkningen følger kongens ord. Til slut opfordres publikum til at afholde sig fra "enhver form for mishags- eller bifaldsytring overfor scener i filmen, som kan have aktuelt præg". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
