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

Under savklingens tænder è un cortometraggio muto del 1913 diretto da Holger-Madsen che vi appare anche nelle vesti di attore, a fianco di Alma Hinding e di Svend Rindom. Madsen aveva interpretato il suo primo film nel 1908; questa è, invece, una delle primissime pellicole che firma sia come regista che come sceneggiatore. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
