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

Mussau er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1964 instrueret af Arvid Klémensen efter eget manuskript. Koraløen Mussau ligger i Bismarck-havet. Selvom påvirknignerne udefra har haft nogen indflydelse på befolkningen går dagen i store træk, som den har gået i hundrede år. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
