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

Folmer Bendtsen er en dansk portrætfilm fra 1957 instrueret af Kristian Begtorp. Maleren Folmer Bendtsen (1907-1993) finder sine foretrukne motiver på det yderste Nørrebro og viser, hvordan indtrykkene samles på lærredet hjemme i atelieret. Filmen giver endvidere indtryk fra hans motivverden i Sydhavnen og Vesterbros baggårde. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
