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.

How it feels

This 1942 documentary follows a team of students diving without tripods to film and photograph coral reefs in the Caribbean. They explore up to 17 meters deep using a camera and harpoon to capture underwater wildlife.

What happens

Pirsch unter Wasser ist einer der weltweit ersten Unterwasser-Naturfilme. Ohne Stativ und in bis zu 17 Meter Tauchtiefe waren die Studenten um Hans Hass die ersten, die mit Kamera und Harpune in die tropischen Korallenriffe der Karibik vordrangen und sie in Foto und Film festhielten.
