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

Blind er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1950 instrueret af Søren Melson og efter manuskript af Martin A. Hansen. En ung, blind kvinde fortæller om sin barndom og om sine forældre, der af kærlighed til hende først ikke ville slippe hende, så hun kunne få den rette undervisning. Hele tilværelsen blev med et slag ændret for hende, da hun kom på De Kgl. Blindeinstitutter og blev opdraget sammen med andre blinde. Da hun forlod institutterne, var hun rustet til at gå i gang med livet og udfylde sin plads i samfundet som enhver anden. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
