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 documentary filmed in winter showing various neighborhoods in Copenhagen around 1917. It captures streets and canals that have changed little except for the traffic.

What happens

Partier fra det gamle København er en dansk stumfilm fra 1917 med ukendt instruktør. Filmen er optaget om vinteren og viser forskellige steder i København, der på det tidspunkt typisk havde et århundrede eller mere på bagen. Mange af stederne findes stadig, men trafikken på gaderne og i kanalerne, der også ses i filmen, har til gengæld ændret sig kraftigt, siden filmen blev optaget. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
