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

Gjutarna är en svensk dokumentärfilm från 1990 i regi av Jean Hermanson. Filmen skildrar en arbetsdag på Bredaryds nya gjuteri och totalt följs sju arbetare. Tittaren får en historisk tillbakablick över gjuteriyrket och hur det blivit alltmer mekaniserat. Filmen är till stora delar okommenterad och miljöbeskrivningarna dominerar. Inspelningen ägde rum mellan 1986 och 1989 och filmen mottogs väl bland kritikerna. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
