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

A silent Danish drama from 1913. It follows a man named Frede, played by Valdemar Psilander, a major star of the time. The story is set in the world of theater and the plot is incomplete because the beginning and final moments of the film are lost.

What happens

Gæstespillet er en dansk stum dramafilm fra 1913 produceret af Nordisk Films Kompagni og instrueret af Eduard Schnedler-Sørensen efter eget manuskript. I den mandlige hovedrolle som Frede ses Valdemar Psilander, der var Nordisk Films største stjerne indtil sin død i 1917. Filmen havde dansk premiere den 23. juni 1913 i Panoptikon Teatret i København og blev i tysktalende lande distribueret som Das Gastspiel og i fransktalende lande som Une représentation de passage. Filmen er delvist bevaret, bortset fra begyndelsen og sidste del af slutscenen. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
