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.

Filmen har samme titel som H.C. Andersens eventyr af samme navn, men er ikke baseret på eventyrets historie. Filmen havde først premiere i Sverige den 2. september 1912 under titlen En moders lefnadssaga og fik herefter dansk premiere den 26. september samme år i Kosmorama i København. Filmen blev i tysktalende lande distribueret som Die Tragödie einer Mutter og i engelsktalende lande som The Life of a Mother. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
