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

Kolingen är en svensk kort dramafilm från 1908 i regi av Erik Dahlberg. Kolingen vaknar i sin våning vid Strandvägen och kysser morgonsolens strålar. Därefter gör han toalett och intager frukost i sitt förmak. Handlingen förflyttar sig till Värtan där Kolingen avlägger förmiddagsvisit hos Västerviks-Ludde på Villa Boxkol. Tillsammans utövar de den Lingska gymnastiken. Kolingen återvänder till staden och börjar sitt arbete. Västerviks-Ludde hjälper till. Filmen avslutas med att Kolingen är på gott humör och donerar för att slutligen knyta sig. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
