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 is a Danish nature documentary from 1965 about cuckoo birds. It shows how a cuckoo chick pushes the reed warbler's eggs and chicks out of the nest. The reed warbler then feeds the cuckoo chick even as it grows much larger than the foster parent.

What happens

Gøgen er en dansk naturfilm fra 1965 instrueret af Frank Wenzel. Gøgen har lagt et æg i en rørsangerrede. Gøgeungen kommer først ud af ægget, og den skubber straks rørsangerens æg ud over redekanten og ned i vandet. I en anden rørsangerrede er rørsangerens unger kommet ud samtidig med gøgeungen. Den skubber dem ud over kanten og ned i vandet. Rørsangeren fodrer den sultne gøgeunge, der til sidst er så stor, at plejemoderen må sidde på dens hoved under fodringen. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
