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.

How it feels

This film shows the journey over the St. Gotthard Pass in the Alps. It follows the road from the north through valleys and up to the pass, then down to the milder climate of Airolo where the railway tunnel ends.

What happens

St. Gotthardpasset er en film instrueret af Svend Aage Lorentz efter manuskript af Frede Lauritzen. St. Gotthardpasset er en af Alpernes koreste pasveje med kun een op- og nedtur. Filmen følger pasvejen nordfra, først gennem Reuss-dalen, hvis sider er stejle, dernæst gennem den flade Urseren-dal og i serpentiner op til pashøjden. Nedturen ender i Airolo, hvor klimaet er mildt, her munder jernbanetunnelen ud. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
