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

Two 10-year-old girls, one Turkish and one Danish, are best friends living in the same housing estate. As they grow up, their cultures push them in different directions and their friendship starts to feel fragile.

What happens

Ghettoprinsesse er en dansk børnefilm fra 2000 med instruktion og manuskript af Cathrine Marchen Asmussen. Tyrkiske Yagmur og danske Vivi bor i Avedøre Stationsby. De er begge 10 år, går i samme klasse og er slyngveninder. Men sådan bliver det nok ikke ved med at være. Det varer ikke længe, før Vivi begynder at bruge weekenderne med venner og fester, mens Yagmur må fortsætte sin gang i moskeen for at lære Koranen. De kan stadig gå i svømmehallen, lege diskotek og fnise af drengene sammen. Men om få år må Yagmur ikke længere vise sig i badedragt. Diskoteksbesøg er udelukket. Og kysseriet må hun gemme, til ham hun skal giftes med. Yagmur gruer for fremtiden, som måske vil splitte deres venskab. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
