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

The film shows daily work and life in the isolated farm settlement of Havratunet in western Norway. It records traditional farming methods that had barely changed for centuries.

What happens

Havråtunet er en norsk dokumentarfilm fra 1952 regissert av Sigurd Agnell. Filmen skildrer arbeidslivet i det avstengte lille stedet Havråtunet i Haus kommune (nå en del av Osterøy kommune), der driftsmåter og arbeidsmetoder praktisk talt ikke hadde forandret seg de siste århundrene. Filmen er i sort-hvitt og finnes i to lengder. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
