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

A Danish sex education film from the 1940s explains female anatomy, menstruation, fertility, and sexual drive. Its main message is that a woman is complete only after having children and that reproduction is the basis for a perfect marriage.

What happens

Det Fuldkomne Ægteskab er en dansk oplysningsfilm fra 1942. Seksualoplysningsfilm fra omkring 1930-40'erne om kvindens anatomi, menstruationscyklus, fertilitet, seksualdrift, kærlighedsliv m.v. De centrale budskaber er, at kvinden først er fuldkommen, når hun har fået børn, og at forplantningen er forudsætningen for det fuldkomne ægteskab. Filmen er formentlig baseret på seksualvejledningen fra 1926 af samme navn af den hollandske gynækolog Theodor Hendrik van de Velde, 1873-1937. Bogen udkom i 1932 i Danmark. Filmens årstal er et estimat. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
