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
Et nyt Grønland er en dansk propagandafilm fra 1954, der er instrueret af Erik Ole Olsen. Under polarcirklen ligger et stykke arktisk Danmark, hvor 25.000 mennesker i barsk og storslået natur kæmper en hård kamp for eksistensen. Den grønlandske befolknings hovederhverv er skiftet fra sælfangst til torskefiskeri. Det har været en hård overgang, men den var nødvendig. Den danske stats indsats har været en stor hjælp for Grønland på dets vej mod moderne samfundsformer. Der er stadig store problemer at løse, men grundlaget for deres løsning vil fortsat være det nære samarbejde mellem Grønland selv og det øvrige Danmark. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
