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

Hjallerup Marked er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1947. Hjallerup Marked er Danmarks, måske Europas, største hestemarked. Der plejer at være 14-15.000 heste med og omkring 3000 besøgende, men i juni 1947 er omfanget lidt mindre, 7500 heste og 1500-2000 gæster. Politiet i Hjallerup har en stor opgave med planlægning og praktiske gøremål. Der skal for eksempel opsættes færdselstavler, skaffes parkeringspladser og uddeles stadepladser. 85 telte er anmeldt, heraf 9 restaurationer. Sæby politikreds assisteres af Aalborg Politi, Statens Færdselspoliti og Rigspolitiets motorcykelpatruljer. Den samlede politistyrke løber op i ca. 40 mand. Der føres også tilsyn med en forsvarlig behandling af dyrene. Kriminelle, hasardspillere og kvinder, der lever af utugt, er faste gæster på Hjallerup Marked. Når restaurationer og forlystelser lukker, er politiet på plads på landevejene. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
