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

Stumpen är en svensk TV-film från 1975 i regi av Ingvar Skogsberg. Filmen bygger på en novell av P.C. Jersild. I rollerna bland annat Håkan Serner och Thomas Hellberg. En dramatiserad teaterversion av novellen, Stumpen - en uteliggares äventyr, uppfördes år 2000 på Helsingborgs stadsteater i regi av Hans Polster och utgjorde grunden för den teaterensemble, som sedan fortsatt sin verksamhet i Helsingborg som Stumpen-ensemblen.
