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

Mette og Esben er en dokumentarfilm instrueret af John Tranholm efter manuskript af John Tranholm. Hej! Jeg Hedder Esben, og jeg bor på Strynø. "Hej! Jeg hedder Mette, og jeg kommer fra Sønderup". Sådan! Kækt og lige-ud-ad-landevejen præsenterer de to hovedpersoner sig selv. Og det er ikke tilfældigt, at de i præsentationen nævner deres hjemstavn. Her hører de til, og herfra går deres verden. De har rødder i en ellers rodløs verden. De er begge 9 år og fortæller om familie, udfoldelsesmuligheder, interesser, venner og veninder. Især familiesammenholdet dominerer i denne livsbekræftende sædeskildring i børnehøjde fra to små samfund i det danske provinslandskab anno 1995. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
