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 uses footage of chaotic 1960s Copenhagen traffic to make the case for a planned future city. It playfully explores traffic problems and suggests that citizens should decide the pace of change.

What happens

Storby i støbeske er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1963 instrueret af Hagen Hasselbalch efter eget manuskript. Optagelser af hverdagens kaotiske trafik i de københavnske gader understreger behovet for den fremtidsby, som eksperter allerede har planlagt på grundlag af erfaringer fra andre europæiske storbyer, der alle har store trafikproblemer. Med sprælsk fantasi berører filmen mange sider af trafikproblemet og understreger, at borgerne selv må bestemme udviklingens takt. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
