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 short documentary from 1942 shows the history and production process of paper. It illustrates how paper has been used throughout human life, from ancient times to the era of rationing stamps, and makes the factory work appear dramatic and engaging.

What happens

Papir er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1942 instrueret af Bjarne Henning-Jensen efter eget manuskript. Politiken skrev 22/12 1942: "Bedst er saa ubetinget Bjarne Henning-Jensens Film om Papir. Han har ikke blot givet Filmen en fortræffelig Ramme – Papiret i Menneskenes Liv, fra Vugge til Grav, fra Oldtid til Rationeringmærkernes Nutid –, men ogsaa forstaaet at gøre den dramatisk, rent ud spændende i selve Billederne fra Fabrikationsprocessen".
