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

Mødet med min far Kasper Højhat er en dokumentarfilm fra 2011 instrueret af Lea Glob. Jeg har aldrig kendt min far. Alt jeg vidste var, at han engang var en flot mand med rødt skæg og et sejlskib tatoveret på brystet. En dag fortalte politiet mig, at han var død. Han havde hængt sig selv i en fængselscelle efter 14 år i Herstedvester Fængsel. Dette er historien om min far Kasper Højhat -bankrøveren og tryllekunstneren, og om hvordan jeg lærte ham at kende baglæns. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
