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.

How it feels

A film about a stream in Hvidovre, Denmark, where pollution has killed off wildlife. Local children describe how they play there, and the council decides to pipe the stream underground rather than clean it.

What happens

Stadsrenden er en dokumentarfilm fra 1973 instrueret af Nils Vest og Henrik Sørensen. En lille skildring af en å i Hvidovre, STADSRENDENS skæbne. Pga. forurening er dyrelivet i åen efterhånden uddødt. Alligevel tjener den som en god legeplads for kvarterets børn. I stedet for at rense den vælger kommunen at lægge den i rør - og den sidste rest af miljø er væk. Vi hører nogle børn fortælle om åen og den skæbne. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
