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

Politikens historiske film 1912 er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1955 instrueret af Anker Kirkeby. Politikenjournalist Anker Kirkeby introducerer og er fortæller til filmoptagelser "fra det gamle København 1913-1914". Filmen er bygget op som et døgn i Politikenjournalistens Peter Pens arbejdsliv, med flere iscenesatte sekvenser: Fra han står op derhjemme og er på arbejde rundt i byen (Nedrivning af Københavns volde, nye opfindelser m.m.). Indtil han sendes til Balkan ved udbruddet af 1. Verdenskrig, hvorfor hans husholderske ikke kan finde ham næste morgen ligge i sin seng, som han plejer. Vi følger trykkeprocessen af næste dags avis. Flere kendte personer medvirker: bl.a. Georg Brandes, Henrik Cavling (på Politikens redaktion og i trykkeriet) og Kgl. skuespiller Oluf Poulsen med datter Karen Poulsen. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
