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

Stella Polaris er en norsk dramafilm fra 1993, regissert av Knut Erik Jensen. Filmen viser på en poetisk måte kystkulturen i Finnmark gjennom portrettet av en kvinne med scener både fra hennes liv på litt eldre dager og fra barndommen under den andre verdenskrig. Filmen mottok Filmkritikerprisen for 1993 av Norsk Filmkritikerlag og vant Crystal Globe ved Karlovy Vary International Film Festival i 1994. Den fikk imidlertid lite publikum i Norge. Anne Krigsvoll har en hovedrolle i filmen. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
