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

Med Roald Amundsens Nordpolsekspedition til første vinterkvarter är en norsk svartvit stumfilm (dokumentär) från 1923. Filmen regisserades och fotades av Reidar Lund. Filmen följer Roald Amundsens expedition till Nordpolen 1922 och tar sin början i Seattle, Washington, USA varifrån expeditionen reser iväg med skeppet Maud. Via Berings sund och Alaska tar sig sällskapet till Nordpolen. I över 40 år ansågs filmen vara förlorad, men sedan fann man en kopia i Nederländerna. Denna kopia restaurerades och är delvis färglagd. Den nyrestaurerade kopian försågs med nykomponerad musik av Stephen Horne. Producent var Haldor Krogh. Filmen gavs också ut på DVD. Filmen är den första av fem filmer under 1920-talet som skildrar Amundsens expeditioner. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
