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 is a Danish compilation film from 1958 that strings together newsreel footage from 1957 and 1958. It shows various everyday events like a visit to a single-family house, gas warfare against beetles, a radio tower falling, and the opening of a new train station. It also covers topics such as urban renewal, housing exhibitions, construction standards, the expansion of Lego, a new farmer's market, a bridge, and the Sydney Opera House.
