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

Trut! är en svensk kort naturfilm från 1944 i regi av Arne Sucksdorff. Den är 18 minuter lång och handlar om fågellivet på Stora och Lilla Karlsö, i synnerhet trutens förhållande till sillgrisslan. Willy Peters gör berättarrösten och musiken skrevs av Hilding Rosenberg. Filmen hade premiär 13 november 1944. Den visades vid filmfestivalen i Cannes 1946. När filmen gavs ut tolkades den på flera håll som en politisk kommentar till andra världskriget, där de brutala trutarna skulle symbolisera Tyskland. Sucksdorff nekade till att någon sådan tanke låg bakom filmen. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
