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

Síðasti bærinn í dalnum er fyrsta leikna kvikmynd Óskars Gíslasonar. Hún var tekin upp á Tannastöðum í Ölfusi, í Kershelli og í Kjósinni og var frumsýnd árið 1950. Jórunn Viðar samdi tónlistina við myndina og var það fyrsta kvikmyndatónlist sem samin var á Íslandi við mynd í fullri lengd. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
