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

Hvor korte Skinner bliver lange er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1945, der er instrueret af Ingolf Boisen. For at opnå jævnere kørsel svejser man nu de 15 m lange skinner sammen to og to. Statsbanernes elektriske svejseværksted i Fredericia. Gamle skinner rettes op. De slidte dele bortsaves og enderne tilslibes. Skinnerne lægges til rette i den elektriske svejsemaskine. En strøm med 10 volts spænding og 30000 amperes strømstyrke sendes gennem skinnerne. Ved skinneenderne opstår der så stor varme, at skinnerne svejses sammen. Transport af de svejsede skinner.
