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 Danish documentary explains how chalk and clay formed over thousands of years to become the basic ingredients of cement. It shows the laboratory process and the large-scale production at a cement factory in Aalborg, then follows the cement as it is shipped worldwide for use in buildings, roads and bridges.

What happens
Cement er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1950, der er instrueret af Per B. Holst efter manuskript af Albert Mertz. Filmen fortæller kridtets og lerets tilblivelseshistorie og viser de mange årtusinders aflejringer, der har skabt disse to fundamentale bestanddele i cementen. På cementfabrikken i Aalborg vises i laboratoriet i lille format, hvordan cementfabrikationen foregår, og man følger derefter i storfabrikationen den samme proces. Cementen forlader fabrikken for at forsendes ud til hele verden. Til bygninger, veje og broer bruges alle vegne cement, et af 1950'ernes vigtigste byggematerialer. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
