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 1963 shows the annual Egeskov market in Kværndrup. It shows both the livestock trading area with horses, sheep and machinery, and the fairground with rides, shooting galleries and small circuses. The film also covers the next day's tradition where vagabonds elect a 'tramp king' at the sports field.

What happens

Egeskov marked er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1963, der er instrueret af Anders Enevig efter eget manuskript. Egeskov marked afholdes hvert år den 3. onsdag i september i Kværndrup. Det er delt op i en landbrugsafdeling, hvor handelen med heste, får og maskiner foregår, og en gøglerplads, hvor de farende folk holder til med deres luftgynger, skydetelte, tombolaer, lykkehjul og to små cirkus. Markedet forberedes tirsdag og åbner tidligt onsdag morgen, gøglerpladsen dog først kl. 10. Næste dag afholder vagabonderne på tingstedet ved sportspladsen i Kværndrup deres årlige valg af "stodderkonge", en skik som går tilbage til ca. 1920. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
