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
This documentary uses old silent 16mm home movie footage to show everyday life in a small Danish town during the 1930s and 1940s. It captures work, leisure, local festivals, and the long construction of a nearby bridge.

What happens
Stationsbyfotografen er en dokumentarfilm instrueret af Jørgen Vestergaard efter manuskript af Jørgen Vestergaard. På grundlag af fotograf Svend Mikkelsens stumme 16mm optagelser på knap 4 timer tegner filmen et billede af livet i Fjerritslev, en typisk dansk stationsby i 30'erne og 40'erne. Der er glimt af arbejdsliv og fritidsfornøjelser, og der er hestemarked, dyrskue og byfest. Et stort byggeprojekt følges gennem flere år: opførelsen af Aggersundbroen. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
