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

Kort fra Danmark er en dansk turistfilm fra 1973, der er instrueret af Peter Refn efter manuskript af Poul Raae. Baggrunden for filmen er en konkurrence om en Danmarksfilm til Danmarks turistråd, der blev udskrevet af olieselskabet BP i 1970. Blandt de 400 indkomne forslag vandt Poul Raae og resultatet blev Kort fra Danmark. Poul Raae og Peter Refn lavede også en kortere version, Danske lystbilleder, samme år. I forhold til den er Kort fra Danmark udvidet med nogle kontroversielle optagelser af blandt andet forurening og landskabsødelæggende grusgravning. BP billigede ikke denne version, men filmskaberne stod inde for begge udgaver. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
