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

Kong Christian X's Bisættelse er en dansk dokumentarisk optagelse fra 1947. Kong Christian 10. døde 20. april 1947. Den 30. april finder bisættelsen sted. Tusindvis af borgere er mødt op for at tage afsked med deres konge, som ligger på castrum doloris (latin: smertens leje) i Christiansborg Slotskirke. På en åben hestevogn køres kisten gennem København til Hovedbanegården, hvorfra den transporteres til Roskilde Domkirke. I midten af filmen kommer der et slutskilt. Herefter følger en række fragmenterede og uredigerede optagelser af begivenheden. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
