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

Flyvestævne er en dansk dokumentarisk optagelse fra 1910 produceret af Nordisk Films Kompagni. Flyvestævne på Kløvermarken i København. Biplaner starter og lander. Maskine looper i luften. Nærbillede af maskine mærket "Dansk Luft Reden", og piloter. Faldskærmsudspring. "Sundflyvning". Flyvemaskine trækkes frem. Det er muligvis Robert Svendsens Øresundsflyvning 17. juli 1910. Herefter meget tidlige flyoptagelser, muligvis fra de allerførste flyvninger fra Kløvermarken. Næsten helt åben flyver starter fra sneklædt mark og flyver ind i tåge. Ved landingen beskadiges maskinen. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
