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

Rønne og Neksøs genopbygning er en film instrueret af Poul Bang efter manuskript af Carl Th. Dreyer. I dagene lige efter befrielsen i maj 1945 blev Rønne og Nexø bombarderet af russiske flyvemaskiner, da den tyske kommandant på øen ikke ville overgive sig. Store dele af de to byer blev ødelagt, men et storstilet genopbygningsarbejde blev hurtigt sat i gang med bistand fra den danske stat. Sverige trådte hjælpende til og forærede de to byer et stor antal elementhuse af træ. Man benyttede lejligheden til at gennemføre en mere hensigtsmæssig byplan og stræbte under genopbygningen efter at bevare de oprindelige huses gamle byggestil, således at de to bornholmske byers særpræg ikke blev ændret.
