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.

For alternative betydninger, se Hamlet (flertydig). (Se også artikler, som begynder med Hamlet) Hamlet er en dansk stum dramafilm fra 1911 produceret af Nordisk Films Kompagni og instrueret af August Blom efter manuskript af Oluf Jensen. Filmen er baseret på William Shakespeares skuespil af samme navn fra 1603. Filmens hovedrolle som Prins Hamlet spilles af den tyske skuespiller Alwin Neuss. Filmen blev optaget på Kronborg og i Helsingør Kloster. Skuespillerne bar originale dragter (år 1600) udlånt fra det Kgl. danske Arsenal. Dekorationen var den samme som i stumfilmen Skarpretterens Søn fra 1910. Filmen havde dansk premiere den 27. februar 1911 i Panoptikon i København. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
