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

Hugo och Rosa är en svensk dokumentär av filmaren Bengt Jägerskog från 2002, producerad av SVT. Filmen finns utgiven på DVD och kan även ses på SVT:s öppet arkiv, se externa länkar. I dokumentären har Bengt Jägerskog följt det gamla syskonparet Rosa och Hugo Bergqvists liv under en tioårsperiod på gården Gunby i Roslagen, norr om Stockholm, där de bor. Hugo hugger ved och bär in vatten från brunnen trots att han är nära hundra år och Rosa spelar gärna dragspel och skurar alltid trasmattorna om våren. De har varken el eller rinnande vatten, men älskar sitt hem och ser ljust på tillvaron. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
