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

Andersens hemmelighed er en dokumentarfilm instrueret af Jørgen Roos efter eget manuskript. Filmen omhandler den antagelse, at H.C. Andersen hele sit liv har båret på en hemmelighed, som han ikke kunne eller ikke ville fortælle sin samtid. Jørgen Roos kommer på sporet af denne historie gennem en norsk kvinde, hvis forfædre boede i Odense og var velstående skomagere. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
