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 a lake in Iceland, where volcanic lava gives way to plants and birds. It focuses on the natural life around the water, including grebes and ducks, and also looks at a typical Icelandic farm.

What happens

Omkring en sø i Island er en dansk naturfilm fra 1954. Island er en vulkanø og består derfor hovedsagelig af lava, men ved vandløbene og søerne er der en afvekslende plantevækst og et rigt fugleliv. Ved søen Myvatn ser man den nordiske lappedykker, odinshanen og forskellige anderacer. Der vises også et eksempel på de karakteristiske islandske gårde. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
