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

Kvindeliv er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 2005, der er instrueret af Katrine Borre. Filmen følger tre enlige mødre i et socialt boligbyggeri i en forstad til Århus. Tre kvinder, der af lyst såvel som nød, lever et liv (næsten) uden mænd. Instruktøren udfordrer danske fordomme om enlige mødre ved at tegne et portræt af tre selvstændige kvinder, der ikke har drømt om tilværelsen som enlig mor, men alligevel sætter pris på den frihed og selvstændighed, de har. Instruktøren har fulgt Gitte på 40, Marie på 22 og Christina på 26 år gennem et år. Hverdagen er ikke altid let, ej heller kærligheden. Men dagene går, og børnene ser ud til at trives. Og råstyrke, drømme og længsler er der masser af. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
