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 documentary shows disabled children from special classes at a Danish school joining regular classes since 1981. Through scenes of both types of teaching and interviews with the children, the film captures their positive experiences of making new friends and feeling included. It also explores the difficulty of defining what disability really means.

What happens

En plads i skolen er en dokumentarfilm instrueret af Janne Giese efter eget manuskript. Siden 1981 har handicappede børn fra specialklasser på Grantofteskolen i Ballerup deltaget i undervisningen i almindelige klasser. Scener fra de to meget forskellige undervisningsformer forbindes med interviews med børnene. Deres vurdering af forsøget er positive: De fortæller, at de har lært nogen at kende, som de ellers ikke vil komme tæt på. I klassen er der megen hensyntagen og gode chancer for at få positive og selvbekræftende oplevelser. Men det er svært at beskrive, hvad "handicap" egentlig betyder. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
