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.

How it feels

This Danish silent film reenacts a real murder case from Fyn that happened shortly before its release. It caused public outrage and led to the introduction of cinema censorship in the capital area.

What happens

Mordet paa Fyn er en dansk stumfilm fra 1907 produceret af Nordisk Films Kompagni. Filmens instruktør er ukendt. Filmen er en gengivelse af hændelserne i en drabssag, der havde fundet sted på Fyn få uger før filmens premiere. Beskrivelsen af drabssagen på film vakte voldsom forargelse, og filmen var den direkte årsag til at justitsminister P.A. Alberti to måneder efter filmens premiere udstedte bekendtgørelse af 29/6 1907 som indførte biografcensur i hovedstadsområdet. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
