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

What happens
17 minutter Grønland er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1967 instrueret af Jørgen Roos efter manuskript af Palle Koch. Hvor ligger Grønland? Hvordan ser landet egentlig ud? Hvem bor der? Hvordan er tilværelsen der? Disse og lignende spørgsmål søger filmen at give svar på ved at skildre liv og natur rundt omkring i Grønland i dag, i vestkystens udviklingsbyer, på østkystens mindre udviklede bopladser og på den store Thule-base helt i nord. Filmen skulle derved bidrage til at placere og definere Grønland på verdenskortet og i bevidstheden hos udlændinge og danskere. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
