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.

How it feels

This documentary shows a now-banned method of fishing through the ice on Ringkøbing Fjord in Denmark. It was filmed in early 1947 with older fishermen who had used the technique and owned or could make the old equipment.

What happens

Isfiskeri paa Ringkøbing Fjord er en dokumentarfilm fra 1947 instrueret af Holger Rasmussen efter eget manuskript. Filmen skildrer en gammel, nu forbudt, fiskemetode. Optagelserne er sket under isperioden i begyndelsen af 1947 under medvirken af ældre fiskere, der tidligere har været med til at anvende metoden, og som ejede eller kunne konstruere de gamle redskaber.
