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

Lammefjordsfilmen er en dansk dokumentarisk optagelse fra 1946. Om afvandingen af Lammefjorden og dens forandring til agerland. Dæmningen blev bygget i 1874, og den efterfølgende udpumpning begyndte i januar 1875. Sænkningen af vandstanden i Lammefjorden kom til at ske i etaper. Det formodes at optagelserne er fra omkring 1943, hvor man nåede den endelige vandstandssænkning på -7 meter. Vi ser arbejdet på dæmningen, gravning af kanaler og inspektion. Den sandede landbrugsjord bruges bl.a. til korn- og aspargesdyrkning. Aspargesene hyppes, stikkes og pakkes og fragtes på hestevogn til stationen. Vi får også indblik i skalleindustrien på Lammefjorden, sveskeblommeavl, tobaksavl. Ved en festlig lejlighed taler gårdejer Chr. Hansen, Aavang, som er formand for Lammefjordens Lodsejerlag og generaldirektør Ole Olsen (1863-1943). Ved sommermøde i Byhaven Faarevejle taler Christmas Møller (1894-1948).
