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

Den hvide slavinde (tradotto letteralmente in italiano La schiava bianca) è un cortometraggio muto del 1907 diretto e interpretato da Viggo Larsen. Prodotto dalla Nordisk, è uno dei primi film di fiction danesi e il primo del genere, molto popolare, che aveva come argomento la "tratta delle bianche". Molto probabilmente, il film si ispira al romanzo del 1905 di Elisabeth Schøyens, Den hvide slavehandel – det tyvende århundreds skændsel, con la differenza fondamentale che il libro finisce malamente, mentre il film ha un finale più lieto.
