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

Flygveckans lyckade täflingar är en svensk stum kortfilm från 1910. Filmen spelades in på Ladugårdsgärdet i Stockholm och premiärvisades den 29 september 1910 på flertalet biografer i samma stad. Filmen skildrar den flyguppvisningsvecka som ägde rum i Stockholmen under september 1910, vilken lockade mycket folk som en följd av att baron Carl Cederström samma år hade väckt allmänhetens intresse för ämnet. Filmen finns bevarad i Sveriges Televisions arkiv. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
