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
A Danish experimental film from 1971 is divided into eight chapters marked with numbers and tinted shots of a camera in nature. It sets up a contrast between nature and culture, specifically the city. The image aesthetic is polished and calculated rather than rough.

What happens
Spending er en dansk eksperimentalfilm fra 1971 instrueret af Stig Brøgger. En gennemstruktureret film opdelt i 8 "kapitler", markeret med tal og tintede billeder af et filmkamera ude i naturen, dvs. der refereres til selve filmmediet. Filmen er hængt op mellem natur og kultur, her byen. Filmen er domineret af det markerede struktureringsprincip. Til forskel fra så mange andre 8 mm film med slørede billeder og rå æstetik bruger billedkunstneren Brøgger en perfektionistisk, homogen og kalkuleret æstetik. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
