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
This Danish documentary follows a young Vietnamese boy who sells postcards to tourists to earn money. An older man teaches him that hard work can lead to a better life. The film contrasts the boy's street work with the importance of school and education.

Happy Hour er en dansk oplysningsfilm fra 2004, der er instrueret af Henriette Arvin og Mette K. Madsen. Børn, der går i skole på en bar. Hvad skal det sige? Filmen følger en lille vietnamesisk dreng, der skal tjene penge ved at sælge postkort til turister. En ung mand lærer ham, at ved at arbejde hårdt kan man tjene penge og komme opad i samfundet. Drengen tager ved lære og arbejder ihærdigt på at sælge postkort, så mange at han tage på en fornøjelsestur og få nye oplevelser. Undervisning er fremtiden for børn, der ellers er henvist til gaden.
