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

Landet de vandt er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1966 instrueret af Hagen Hasselbalch. Filmen er optaget i anledning af Det Danske Hedeselskabs 100-års jubilæum. I interviews fortæller gamle hedeopdyrkere om sliddet ved at virkeliggøre Enrico Dalgas' drøm om hedens frugtbargørelse. Filmen søger at vise, at hedeselskabets historie tillige er en side af Danmarks udvikling siden 1866. I dag driver selskabet jordprøvelaboratorier, planteskoler, mergelgrave, savværker og drænrørsfabrikation. Afvanding og vandløbsreguleringer gennemføres, men de jagt- og vildtbiologiske følger heraf kommenteres kritisk af sagkyndige og videnskabsmænd. Ved tilplantning af forladte brunkulslejer skabes ny naturskønhed. Filmen slutter med at knytte forbindelse til det moderne industrisamfund, der er opstået på heden med Herning som centrum.
