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

Wangeniafiskeri er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1973 instrueret af Svend Aage Lorentz efter eget manuskript. I den demokratiske republik Zaire (tidl Congo) bor wangenia-folket ved Tshopo-faldene (tidl. Stanley-faldene). Ved fiskeri i floden udnytter de forskellene mellem lav og høj vandstand til en slags rusefiskeri fra stilladser bygget ude i vandet (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
