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.

What happens

David Copperfield is a 1922 Danish drama film directed by A.W. Sandberg and starring Gorm Schmidt, Martin Herzberg and Margarete Schlegel. The film was made as part of an attempt to re-establish Danish cinema in the English-speaking world. While successful in Scandinavia, the film failed to do well in Britain and America. The film's sets were designed by the art director Carlo Jacobsen. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
