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

An architect places a time capsule with a message for future generations and a photo of his daughter who died from brain cancer into the foundation of a nuclear power plant he designed. The film examines the dangers of radiation through his personal loss and a television program stating that 250 grams of plutonium is enough to give cancer to every person on earth.

What happens

250 grammaa on Pirjo Honkasalon ja Pekka Lehdon ohjaama suomalainen yhteiskunnallinen draamaelokuva vuodelta 1983. Elokuva käsittelee ydinsäteilyn vaaroja. Elokuvassa arkkitehti Max Sjöman jättää aikakapselin suunnitelemansa ydinvoimalan kivijalkaan, johon hän kirjoittaa viestin tuleville sukupolville sekä jättää aivosyöpään kuolleen tyttärensä Venlan kuvan. Elokvan nimi viittaa Sjömanin katsomaan televisiolähetykseen, jossa kerrotaan, että 250 grammaa plutoniumia on riittävästi aiheuttamaan syövän jokaiselle maapallon asukkaalle.
