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

At dræbe for at leve er en dansk naturfilm fra 1986 instrueret og med manuskript af Claus Bering. At dræbe for at leve er ret beset det naturligste af verden, og dog eksisterer der masser af hykleri omkring dette, siger Claus Bering, der starter sin film med at angribe det synspunkt, at det er synd for dyrene, som mange siger, samtidig med at de spiser kød og holder sig varme ved at klæde sig i dyrehud. Bering gennemgår detaljeret og sagligt de aflivningsmetoder, der anvendes på dyr i vor kultur. Ud over besøg på slagterier omtales dyreforsøg, der skal give os større indsigt. Filmen indeholder selvsagt scener, der kan virke voldsomme på tilskueren. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
