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

Himmelen er mit tag er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 2000 med instruktion og manuskript af Jenö Farkas og Fritz Hartz. Uffe har levet på gaden i København i over 20 år. Sommer og vinter traver han rundt med sin overlæssede indkøbsvogn og tjener til dagen og vejen ved at samle flasker. Langsomt har to filmfolk opbygget et tillidsfuldt forhold til Uffe, og da et klassebillede fra Uffes skoletid dukker op, begynder filmfolkene at researche i Uffes baggrund og konfrontere Uffe med det, de finder. I over et år var filmfolkene sammen med Uffe, og i den periode vender Uffe tilbage til livet. Et portræt af et menneske, for hvem et eller andet pludseligt går galt. Og en beskrivelse af en udvikling, fra bunden og op. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
