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

Papirdragen er en norsk animert kortfilm fra 1963 regissert av Ivo Caprino. Den var rettet mot barn og var en oppdragsfilm om UNICEFs arbeid og ble vist over hele verden på 1960-tallet. Egil Monn-Iversen komponerte musikken, Odd Børretzen skrev manus, mens Ingse Gude skapte alle de 30 dukkene sammen med sin elev Ingeborg Isdahl. Filmen regnes som teknisk vellykket og fikk mye ros da den kom. Samtidig møtte den motforestillinger for å være naivistisk i framstillingen. Filmen var imidlertid tidstypisk i sin avspeiling av datidens bistandsarbeid. Den hadde premiere på Scala kino den 18. juni 1964. Den ble vist på norsk TV i 1969. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
