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.

What happens

Sigtið is an Icelandic comedy television show. The show is filmed in a mockumentary style showing the self-centered television show host Frímann Gunnarsson. Gunnarsson fails completely at running the show, despite his belief that it is the greatest television show ever made in Iceland. His idols are the world-renowned Joseph Blunden and Margaret Thatcher. Gunnar Hansson plays the leading role of Frímann Gunnarsson along with several smaller parts. Friðrik Friðriksson and Halldór Gylfason play almost all other parts in the show. The shows two seasons were aired in 2006 at the Icelandic television station Skjár einn.
