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 series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

This is a Danish children's television series that started as a Christmas calendar program in 1962. It was inspired by a Swedish idea and later became a collaboration between Danmarks Radio and charities to raise money for children in poor countries.

What happens

I 1962 begyndte Danmarks Radios Børne- og Ungdomsafdeling at producere "Børnenes Julekalender". En svensk idé, først udsendelser i radio (1957) og derefter fjernsynsudsendelser (1960). I Danmark startede man samtidigt med radio og TV. Fra 1977 ændredes navnet til Børnenes U-landskalender. Børnenes U-landskalender er et samarbejde mellem Danmarks Radio, danske børn, DANIDA og velgørenhedsorganisationer, med det formål at skaffe penge til projekter for børn i fattige lande, også kaldt et Uland - deraf navnet til kalenderen.
