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

Fangernes børn er en dansk oplysningsfilm fra 2007, der er instrueret af Claus Arvad og Stine Bech. Zhang har tidligere arbejdet i et fængsel, og her oplevede hun, hvordan børnene hvileløst gik rundt udenfor fængslet og ventede på at deres forældre blev løsladt uden at vide, hvornår de ville se deres mor eller far igen. Derfor sagde Zhang sit job op i fængslet for at tage sig af børnene. I filmen fortæller Tui Hui på otte år og Jin Jahu på 13 år om livet på børnehjemmet og om savnet til deres mødre, der begge sidder inde på livstid. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
