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 collection of seven animated short films from different Nordic countries. A frame story about snow children connects them all together. The program is designed to become a new Christmas tradition for families across the Nordic region.

What happens

Snöbarnens julsagor (norska: Snøbarnas juletime, finska: Joulun tähtitarinoita, danska: Snebørnenes juletime, isländska: Jólastund snjóbarnanna) är ett nordiskt TV-program som visades i Yle, DR, NRK och RÚV till julen 2022. Programmet består av sju animerade kortfilmer från de nordiska länderna Norge, Finland, Danmark och Island. Programmet innehåller en ramberättelse om Snöbarnen som är producerad av Qvisten Animation i samarbete med isländska GunHil. Programmet är runt en timme långt. En tanke med programmet är att det ska kunna bli en ny jultradition i Norden och planeras bli ett fast inslag på de nordiska public service-kanalerna. Programmet är utformat så att det skulle kunna byggas ut allt eftersom. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
