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.

How it feels

What happens

En frygtelig Fejltagelse er en dansk stumfilm fra 1912 produceret af The Copenhagen Film Co. og instrueret af Axel Strøm, der også skrev filmens manuskript sammen med Axel Breidahl. Filmen er den første film, der blev produceret af Oscar Emanuel Nathansohns nyoprettede The Copenhagen Film Compagni. Nathanson havde i 1906 åbnet egen biograf på Gammel Kongevej 100, som han blot kaldte Biografen, og ønskede i 1912 at påbegynde egenproduktion af film. Filmen havde premiere den 29. august 1912 i Nathansons "Biografen". Filmen, der varede hele fem kvarter, beskrives som værende lang og kedelig. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
