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

Den talende film er en dansk film fra 1923 instrueret af Axel Petersen og Arnold Poulsen. Filmen havde premiere den 12. oktober 1923 i Palads Teatret i København, og var verdens første film med lyd, men ikke den første fulde spillefilm med lyd, der regnes den amerikanske film The jazz singer fra 1927 som den første. Det blev starten på Petersen & Poulsen Lydsystem, der i 1946 skiftede navn til Fonofilm og i 1947 oprettedes Ortofon. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
