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

Jambo Bwana er en dansk ekspeditionsfilm fra 1947, der er instrueret af Aage Stentoft. Aage Stentoft leder en safari i Østafrika, hvor han ledsages af to storvildtsjægere, Carr og Hartley, der til daglig forsyner zoologiske haver i Europa og Amerika med Afrikas vilde dyr. Der bliver dog ikke skudt dyr i denne film, men tværtimod følges savannens dyr, store som små, i deres naturlige omgivelser. Titlen "Jambo bwana" er de indfødtes hilsen på swahili og betyder "Goddag, hvide mand". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
