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

Arbejdsløs er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1975 instrueret af Claus Ørsted efter eget manuskript. Skildring af et ægtepar blandt mange, som i vinteren 1975 tager til Sverige for at søge arbejde tvunget af arbejdsløsheden i Danmark. De kommer på gratis besøgstur, bliver kørt rundt i turistbus i det svenske landskab, får tilbudt moderne lejlighed, og bliver inviteret til festbespisning med mellemøl og snaps på virksomhedens regning. Efter lægeundersøgelse og samtale med direktionen er alt parat til, at han og konen og sønnen på 11 år rykker deres tilværelse op med rode og skifter fædreland. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
