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 1955 documentary compiles footage from Danish, German, and British archives to show the German occupation of Denmark from 1940 to 1945. It covers the resistance movement, key events of the occupation, and the liberation. The film relies on authentic material shot at the time by both professional and amateur filmmakers.

What happens

De fem år er en film instrueret af Theodor Christensen efter eget manuskript. En autentisk og dokumentarisk film om Danmarks besættelse, modstandskampen og befrielsen. Takket være modige danske filmfolks indsats lykkedes det her i landet at filme store dele af modstandskampen og de afgørende begivenheder, som prægede årene 1940-45. Dette enestående materiale er her samlet i een enkelt film, suppleret med et stort antal optagelser, som siden er fundet frem, dels fra danske gemmer, dels fra tyske og engelske arkiver, hvor man bl.a. har fundet tyskernes egne filmoptagelser fra Danmarks besættelse den 9. april 1940 og nogle fantastiske optagelser fra den RAF-maskine, der ledede angrebet på shell-huset den 21. marts 1945.
