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

En Rejse til Grønland er en dansk dokumentarisk optagelse fra 1921. I 1921 fejrede man 200 året for Hans Egedes ankomst til Grønland, og som et led i festlighederne indgik det første kongebesøg i det høje nord: Kong Christian X's Grønlandsfærd med kongeskibet "Island", hvor han var ledsaget af dronning Alexandrine, kronprins Frederik og prins Knud. Gennem Davisstrædet i orkan, sejladsen op langs Grønlands østkyst og ankomsten til Godthaab. Her ser vi polarforskeren Brønlunds mindesmærke foran Vor Frelser Kirke samt jordhytter og sommertelte og de familier, som bor i dem. Optagelser fra et grønlandsk 'asfaltbal' - kongen overværer dansen. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
