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 documentary shows daily life in the Greenlandic town of Jakobshavn, now called Ilulissat. It was also made to promote a bank, but it mostly just observes how people live and work there.

What happens

Jacobshavn er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra anslået 1968, der er instrueret af Kaj Mogens. Reklamefilm for Bikuben i Grønland, men nok så meget en dokumentarisk film om livet i Jakobshavn (Ilulissat). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
