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.

What happens

For alternative betydninger, se Den hvide slavehandel. (Se også artikler, som begynder med Den hvide slavehandel) Den hvide Slavehandel er en dansk stumfilm fra 1910, instrueret af Alfred Cohn og produceret af det århusianske Fotorama. Filmen blev en stor succes, hvilket forledte Nordisk Film Kompagni til kort efter at lave et næsten identisk scene for scene plagiat, som de tilmed gav samme titel: Den hvide Slavehandel. Fotorama truede med retssag og indledte en aviskampagne mod Nordisk Film. Uoverensstemmelserne blev dog løst i et forlig uden for retssalen. Ironisk nok er denne oprindelige version gået tabt, mens Nordisk Films plagiat er bevaret. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
