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

Sort mandag er en eksperimentalfilm instrueret af Tore Bahnson efter eget manuskript. Gottfred Adler nyder en rolig aften i familiens skød med en god bog og en kraftig gin-opspædet martini. I al hemmelighed skaber han en række drømmepersoner, der alle har til formål at lappe på hans noget flossede selvagtelse som forretningsmand. Men drømme er ikke altid lige lette at styre, og med et slag kan de forvandle sig til det rene mareridt. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
