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.

How it feels

This Danish documentary from 1960 looks at what leisure activities are available to teenagers and how they use them. It follows 14 to 18 year olds hanging out on the street, in the market square, at a coffee bar, and in youth clubs. The film suggests that better community spaces for young people are needed.

What happens

Et sted at være er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1960 med instruktion og manuskript af Tørk Haxthausen. Filmen fortæller om fritidsmuligheder, der gives de unge, og om, hvordan de reagerer på dem. Filmen præsenterer de 14-18 årige, som de er mellem jævnaldrende på gaden, på markedspladsen, i kaffebaren og i ungdomsklubben. Ud fra en sympatisk indstilling til vitaliteten og energien i deres livsudfoldelse prøver filmen indirekte at pege på nødvendigheden af at skabe det bedst mulige miljø for de unge og fremhæver ungdomsklubben som en mulighed, der bør udnyttes endnu bedre, end det var tilfældet tidligere.
