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 Danish documentary shows how the postal service handles the huge increase in mail during the five days before Christmas. Extra staff are called in and machines run nonstop to process letters and packages. The film explains that senders should package items well, write clear addresses, and mail early.

What happens

Masser af post er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1958 instrueret af Erling Wolter efter eget manuskript. Der skal et stort apparat til for at ekspedere den daglige post, og i tiden op til jul sættes det på en hård prøve. De sidste 5 dage før juleaften ekspederes lige så meget post som ellers på en måned. Det betyder overarbejde for det faste personale og indkaldelse af ekstramandskab. I endeløse strømme glider breve og pakker afsted på transportbåndene, og stempelmaskinerne får lov at løbe, det de kan. For at det hele kan gå glat, må afsenderne emballere pakkerne godt, skrive tydelig og rigtig adresse på alle forsendelser og sende dem afsted i god tid. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
