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
A documentary from 1998 profiles several people living with severe physical deformities. It connects their experiences to old historical fascinations with so-called oddities. The film also raises ethical questions about modern gene technology selecting out genetic errors early in life.

What happens
Gaias børn er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1998, der er instrueret af Bente Milton efter eget manuskript. Menneskets fascination af såkaldte vanskabninger, har dybe rødder i vor fælles fortid. På baggrund af den historiske samfundsudvikling fra antikken og frem til i dag, portrætterer filmen en række mennesker der lever med alvorlige fysiske misdannelser. Samtidig lægges der op til en etisk debat om den moderne genteknologis muligheder for at frasortere "genetiske fejltagelser" allerede i livets tidligste faser. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
