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

Schalburgtage i Fredericia er en dansk dokumentarisk optagelse fra 1944. Fra december 1943 begyndte den berygtede "Petergruppen" - en hemmelig enhed i Schalburgkorpsets efterretningstjeneste - at udføre kontrasabotage, der af danskerne hurtigt fik navnet Schalburgtage. Aktionerne fungerede som hævn for modstandsbevægelsens øgede aktiviteter. Optagelserne her viser ødelæggelserne af Schalburgtageaktionen imod Restings Isenkram, der blev bombet den 7. maj 1944 og Hotel Landssoldaten, der blev bombet den 30. juli 1944 - begge beliggende i Fredericia. Nogle af optagelserne blev brugt i bl.a. Theodor Christensens film "Det gælder din frihed" (1946). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
