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 from 1961 shows how big city life can affect young children with its rush and noise. It follows children who become lonely or nervous and explains how holiday seal homes help them become healthy and content again.

What happens

Små børn, stor by er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1961 instrueret af Nicolai Lichtenberg efter eget manuskript. Storbyen, denne voksenverden med dens jag og larm, er ikke altid den bedste baggrund for et barns udvikling. Mange børn bliver prægede af rastløsheden - de bliver ensomme, måske nervøse. Julemærkehjemmene giver disse børn mulighed for på ny at blive sunde og tilfredse, mulighed for at vokse op og udvikle sig til harmoniske mennesker. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
