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

Det Danske Petroleums Aktieselskab er en dansk virksomhedsfilm fra 1924. Filmen handler om Det Danske Petroleums Aktieselskab (D.D.P.A.), der blev grundlagt i 1899. Den første petroleum kom til Danmark fra USA i 1861, og D.D.P.A., der var den første store aktør på markedet, kom til at spille en dominerende rolle som distributør af olieprodukter (herunder petroleum, brændsesolie og benzin) i Danmark. Selskabet skiftede i 1952 navn til Dansk Esso og i 1986 overgik det til Statoil A/S. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
