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

For alternative betydninger, se Boksekamp. (Se også artikler, som begynder med Boksekamp) Boksekamp er en dansk stumfilm fa 1909 produceret af Nordisk Films Kompagni. Filmen er af Det Danske Filminstitut beskrevet som "Scene fra en spillefilm hvor en bokser bokser mod en klovnelignede mand", og DFI angiver som alternativ titel på filmen Mesterbokseren Jim Smith. Af det oprindelige filmprogram fra Nordisk Film fremgår imidlertid, at bokseren i filmen er den danske mesterbokser Waldemar Holberg. Bevarede billeder fra filmen viser ikke en "klovnelignende mand", men derimod Waldemar Holberg, der bokser mod en farvet bokser. Scenerne med en "klovnelignende mand" er muligvis forvekslet med Nordisk Films film Bokserparodi fra 1907. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
