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

När seklet var ungt är en svensk filmkavalkad 1897–1914 från 1961 i regi av Gardar Sahlberg och Arne Karlsson. Filmens berättelse bygger helt på gamla journalfilmer ur SF:s arkiv samt delar av gamla spelfilmer. Den börjar med Stockholmsutställningen 1897, där Oscar II förekommer, och fortsätter vidare genom historien fram till första världskrigets utbrott 1914. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
