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

Randers er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1951 instrueret af Ove Sevel efter eget manuskript. Filmen viser tilværelsen, som den former sig en hverdag i en stor, dansk købstad, og giver et indtryk af Randers, den moderne og levende by med nye forretningskvarterer og gamle bindingsværkshuse som baggrund for byens travle arbejde i fabrikker og hjem, i sociale institutioner og store erhvervsvirksomheder - en by, hvor der gennem rutebilstation og havn foregår en stadig vekselvirkning med oplandet og den store handel.
