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

Natfolket er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1989 instrueret af Poul Erik Heilbuth. Ingen fik sandheden at vide, om hvor farligt det var at arbejde med asbest på eternitfabrikken i Aalborg. På trods af at der helt tilbage til slutningen af fyrrerne eksisterede en viden om faren for at erhverve sig asbestose, fik arbejderne intet at vide. I filmen interviewes to arbejdere, der er invaliderede af kontakten med det farlige mineral, som fabrikken anvendte i produktionen helt frem til december 1987. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
