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

Sult 2020 er en norsk dramakomedie fra 2023 regissert av Jan Vardøen. Filmen handler om en fattig, sulten og etter hvert desperat kunstner som får kjenne Oslos kulde på kroppen. Handlingen er lagt til senhøsten 2020 da Oslo stengte ned på grunn av koronapandemien. Filmen er løst basert på Knut Hamsuns roman Sult fra 1890. Hovedrollen spilles av Jonathan Chedeville. I tillegg deltar Mimmi Tamba, Bjørn Sundquist, Ingar Helge Gimle, Hans Olav Brenner, Charlotte Frogner og Helén Vikstvedt. NRK Filmpolitiet gav den terning fem. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
