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

Ikke som os andre er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1960 instrueret af Svend Methling og efter manuskript af Hans Hansen. En appel til udenforstående om at forstå de evnesvages handicap samt et forsøg på at forklare, at der ikke er nogen absolut sammenhæng mellem manglende evne og afstumpethed eller omvendt. Filmen fremhæver også betydningen af en erhvervsmæssig oplæring af de evnesvage. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
