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 bronze caster in Thailand invites us into his factory. He shows us his work and talks about his life while heating and pouring metal into molds. Many of the statues he makes are religious ones that go through a ceremony before they are placed in a temple.

What happens
Bronzestøberen er en dokumentarfilm instrueret af Rikard Rogeland og Emelie Saltas. Fra filmens start fyres der op. Luften sitrer af varme. Vi befinder os på en meget varm arbejdsplads i Thailand, på et bronzestøberi. Bronzestøberen fører os ind i fabrikken og fortæller om sit arbejde og sig selv. Vi ser hvorledes metalstykker smides i smeltedigler, luftpumpen tilsluttes for blæse luft ind i brændkammeret, og det hede smeltede metal bliver hældt på forme. Der formes statuer, mange religiøse statuer, der først må gennem en ceremoni inden de kan anbringes i templet. Hvem går igen på disse statuer? (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
