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

Hingstekaaringen i Næstved er en dansk dokumentarisk optagelse fra 1943. Den årlige kåring af belgiske og oldenborgske heste finder sted på Grønnegades Kaserne i Næstved den 26. februar 1943. Omkring 5000 landmænd er samlet for at beundre de flotte dyr. Danmarks dyreste hingst er belgieren "Mussolini" til 80.000 kr. Derudover optagelser fra byen (med forklarende undertekster!) af bl.a. Næstved Bio, hvor Landbrugsraadets hestefilm bliver vist. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
