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

Vægtløs (originaltittel Vektløs) er en dansk/norsk film instrueret af Sigve Endresen. Kari Iveland er en kendt norsk sangerinde, men bag den solide karriere ligger et smertefuldt privatliv. Instruktøren følger som en flue-på-væggen Kari Ivelands arbejde med sin første soloplade »Vektløs«, hvis tekster giver indblik i den eksistentielle angst og uro, hun har følt gennem sit liv. Dette bliver uddybet i samtaler med Karis forældre og med lægen, som behandlede hende i en fase af hendes liv, hvor hun holdt op med at spise. Som barn af to missionærer, der arbejdede på at forbedre verden, blev hun paradoksalt nok selv et offer. Historien om Kari Iveland er en universel historie om en ung kvinde, der bevæger sig fra ønsket om at dø til at sætte pris på livet. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
