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

Ringridning er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1985 instrueret af Jørgen Weiss. Filmen tager os med til "Norderuropas største folkefest" - den traditionsrige Ringriderfest i Sønderborg. Som fluer på væggen følger vi ringriderkomiteens forberedelser, fra planlægning og budgettering, til opsætning af galger, boder og telte. Vi er med til træningen for heste og ryttere og til organiseringen af de ca. 600 rytterpræmier. PR-chefen har travlt i dagene op til åbningen, bl.a. med avisen "Ringrider Tidende" og produktion og ophængning af plakater. Inden det endelig går løs med optog, indledende konkurrencer, forlystelser, de berømte ringriderfrokoster, festtaler, kåring af ringriderkonge, -kronprins og -prins og det afsluttende festfyrværkeri.
