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

I lifvets vår (a volte conosciuto anche col titolo italiano La primavera della vita) è un film del 1912, diretto da Paul Garbagni, basato sul romanzo Första älskarinnan di August Blanche, del 1848. Il film riunisce come attori Victor Sjöström, Mauritz Stiller e Georg af Klercker, che saranno di lì a poco protagonisti della cosiddetta "Età dell'oro del cinema svedese".
