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

General Dewings Besøg paa Bornholm er en dansk ugerevy fra 1945. Den britiske general Richard Dewing aflægger den 28.-29. juli 1945 et besøg på Bornholm, der på dette tidspunkt er besat af sovjetiske styrker. Han modtages bl.a. af den sovjetrussiske general Jakusjov og amtmand von Stemann. I løbet af opholdet besøger delegationen Østerlars Rundkirke i Gudhjem. De sovjetiske styrker forlader endeligt Bornholm den 5. april 1946, hvorfor bornholmerne kalder denne dag for den "endelige befrielse". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
