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 film from 1954 is made up of many short stories tied together by brief connecting scenes. It shows the different social classes and common human feelings like pettiness and envy while also celebrating people who treat each other well and find happiness.

What happens
Himlen er blå er en dansk film fra 1954, der som såkaldt episodefilm knyttes sammen af en lang række forskellige handlingsforløb, der igen er bundet sammen af korte scener. Filmen tegner fine portrætter af samfundsklasserne og almenmenneskelige sindsstemninger og luner så som nedrighed, misundelse, arrogance, livsbitterhed mv. og er en hyldest til mennesket, der formår at behandle andre godt og (med filmens tilbagevendende udbrud, Himlen er blå) formår at se den lykke, livet er. I kraft af filmens instruktør, dokumentaristen, Svend Aage Lorentz, fremstår filmen tillige som et knivskarpt tidsbillede af Danmark i 1940'erne og 1950'erne. Manuskript Finn Methling og Sv. Aage Lorentz. Instruktion Sv. Aage Lorentz. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
