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
Peter Martins - en danser er en portrætfilm fra 1979 instrueret af Jørgen Leth efter manuskript af Ole John. Filmen viser Peter Martins og hans arbejde på New York City Ballet - i skolerne, på prøver og forestillinger, som danser, som koreograf og lærer. Den daglige rutine i prøvesalene, de store præstationer på scenen og de intense experimenter for at opnå den sublime udtryksform. I en serie korte interviews fortæller Peter Martins om moral, de evige forsøg på at overgå sig selv, om hvorfor han kom til New York og om mødet med Balanchine. Andre medvirkende er George Balanchine, Jerome Robbins, Stanley Williams og danserne Suzanne Farrell, Heather Watts og Daniel Duell. Der vises passager fra balletterne "Chaconne", "Agon", "Tchaikowsky Pas de Deux" og fra Peter Martins egen ballet "Calcium Light Night". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
