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

Strandhugg paa Kavringen (The Coastal Raid at Kavringen) is a 65-minute Norwegian film from 1923 that is now considered lost. The screenplay was written by Gunnar Nilsen-Vig, who was also one of the film's directors. Egil Sætren designed the sets, and Svein Lysell, Lizzie Florelius, Katja Wallier, and Leif Enger appeared in the main roles. Leif Enger was also responsible for makeup. The film also featured the Chat Noir ballet. The plot has several similarities to Ludvig Holberg's well-known comedy Jeppe on the Hill. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
