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

Margot Lander (1910-1961)... kærligst er en film instrueret af Kai Michelsen. I den kongelige danske ballets nyere historie har første solo-danseren en meget central placering. I 1930'erne og 1940'erne, da Harald Lander genopbyggede den danske ballet, blev det af uvurderlig betydning, at han ved sin side havde en kunstnerinde af Margots format. Desværre fik man aldrig - som rimeligt havde været - optaget en film med Margot Lander, der sluttede sin karriere i 1950, da hun endnu stod på toppen af sin kunst. Fremstillet på grundlag af privatoptagelser fra hendes tre afskedsforestillinger i 1950. De over 30 år gamle stumfilm er redigeret, filmteknisk bearbejdet og forsynet med synkron musik til koreografien. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
