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
An 11-year-old Danish gymnast trains daily for the national championship. The film follows his preparation and his home life after his parents' recent divorce.

What happens
Gymnast er en dansk portrætfilm fra 2002 instrueret af Tine Katinka Jensen efter eget manuskript. Alexander Windfeldt bor i Humlebæk, er 11 år og har dyrket redskabsgymnastik siden han var 6. Alexander træner hver dag og har været Danmarksmester siden 1997. Men presset er stort, når alle forventer, at man vinder. Filmen følger Alexanders intense træning i dagene op til DM, og hjemme hos familien, der blev skilt for ikke længe siden. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
