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

Skrøbelig rigdom er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1988 instrueret af Søren Kloch. En drama-dokumentarisk film om en landsby i det sydlige Afrika og dens beboeres indsats for at vende en truende økologisk situation. Bonden Mathau prøver at få folk til at genindføre træer i landbrugsdriften efter agerskovbrugs-, agroforestryprincippet. Mathau siger: "Et land er kun et land, når der er mange træer." Landsbyen mener, han er angrebet af en alvorlig sygdom, som gør, at han kun kan tænke på træer. Selv hans gode ven Steve er skeptisk. Er det umagen værd? Hvad siger landbrugseksperterne? Kan udviklingen vendes, eller er det allerede for sent? (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
