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 documentary explains the history and nature of polio, including how scientists identified the virus and developed a vaccine. It also addresses the challenges faced by people who contracted polio before the vaccine was available.

What happens
Polio er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1957 instrueret af Erling Wolter efter eget manuskript. Sygdommen polio, eller børnelammelse, som den tidligere hed, har været kendt fra de ældste tider. I 1800-tallet blev man klar over, at polio var en selvstændig sygdom, og at den var epidemisk. Først i vore dage fandt man ved hjælp af de kraftige elektronmikroskoper polioens smitstof, og nu kunne arbejdet på at fremstille en vaccine begynde. Det lykkedes, og poliovaccination foregår nu overalt. Men mange mennesker var ramt af sygdommen, inden vaccinen blev fundet, og de har brug for al den hjælp, vi kan yde dem i deres hårde kamp mod polioens følger. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
