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

Besættelsens Hverdag er en dansk dokumentarisk optagelse fra 1946. De gode gamle dage er forbi, dagliglivet skifter karakter under besættelsen. Der er madkøer og rationeringer. På Fyn dyrkes tobak på store arealer. Optagelser af forestilling med Pjerrot og Harlekin i Tivoli, men også den gamle have udsættes for terror. Nødskoler oprettes, bl.a. på Nimbus-fabrikken på Peter Bangsvej (klippet stammer fra "Nilfisk- og Nimbusfabrikkerne som Skole", 1945). Dagmarhus var tyskernes hovedkvarter - de steder, tyskerne holdt til raseres i dagene efter befrielsen. Befrielsen fejres i gaderne. Engelske og amerikanske tropper ankommer og hyldes. Filmen består af fragmentariske klip, som er kendte optagelser fra andre besættelsesfilm. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
