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

De grønlandske mumier er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1986 med instruktion og manuskript af Jørgen Roos. I 1979 blev to eskimograve opdaget i Grønland. En lille ekspedition foretager udgravningen, og fundene sendes til Nationalmuseet i København for at blive analyseret og tidsbestemt. Gravene indeholder to børne- og seks kvindelig, der er velbevarede og mumificerede i det arktiske klima. Alle er de døde i 1460, men hvad har deres skæbne været? Er en konebåd blevet overrasket af en storm, så de druknede? Har en epidemi gjort ende på deres liv? Er de ofre for en stammefejde? Er de blevet dræbt af koloniserende nordboere? Mumierne er i dag udstillet på Grønlands landsmuseum i Nuuk. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
