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 short documentary follows blind children at a school in Laski, Poland as they explore an egg. They touch taste and smell the raw and cooked egg and later feel newly hatched chicks. The film shows how the children learn through senses other than sight.

What happens

To jest jajko – polski dokument społeczny z 1965 roku w reżyserii Andrzeja Brzozowskiego. W dokumencie Andrzeja Brzozowskiego kamera śledzi niewidome dzieci z ośrodka w Laskach podczas lekcji poświęconej poznawaniu jajka. Uczniowie badają jego strukturę, powierzchnię i konsystencję – zarówno w formie surowej, jak i po ugotowaniu – jednocześnie ucząc się odpowiednich słów do opisania swoich odkryć. Kulminacją zajęć jest obserwowanie procesu wykluwania się piskląt, które dzieci mogą poczuć innymi zmysłami. Cały proces poznawania odbywa się przez dotyk, smak, zapach i słuch.
