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.

How it feels

A Danish family lives in an ancient village for two weeks, trying to survive as people did 2000 years ago. They hunt, build tools, and cook the old way. Family members talk about what the experiment means to them.

What happens

14 dage i Jernalderen er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1977 instrueret af Jørgen Roos. I oldtidsbyen ved Lejre lever en dansk familie i to uger, som man gjorde for 2000 år siden. Fortidsfamilien skal gøre sig sine egne erfaringer og gennem dette eksperiment viderebringe oplysninger, der kan skabe større vished og forståelse i nutiden for livet dengang. Filmen følger familiens daglige arbejde med at skaffe mad og varme til langhuset, med at konstruere nye redskaber, fange fisk med spyd osv. De enkelte familiemedlemmer giver også udtryk for deres personlige oplevelse af de to ugers ophold i oldtidsbyen - et ophold, som også for familien internt (2 voksne og 3 børn) har haft sin betydning. Filmen blev oprindeligt produceret til BBC. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
