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

Historien om Johannes Lind er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1975 instrueret af Hans-Henrik Jørgensen. Johannes Lind kan ikke længere klare sit husmandssted uden at skaffe sig anden indtægt ved arbejde i en større industrivirksomhed. Det uvante arbejde ved stansemaskinen går imidlertid trægt, og arbejdskammeraterne ved samlebåndet bliver utilfredse, fordi det går ud over fællesakkorden. Også værkføreren forlanger tempoet sat op. Lind slækker en anelse på sikkerheden; nu går det godt, og han tjener gode penge. Men en dag går det galt. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
