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

Ganske normalt er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1980, der er instrueret af Rudy Hougård. Filmen skildrer en ung mand, Peter, der bor på en institution for åndsvage. Gennem Peters daglige konfrontationer med personalet og de andre beboere på institutionen skildres en individuel skæbne, for hvem handicappet er et fængsel, som institutionen kun kan gøre så behageligt som muligt, men aldrig lave om på.
