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.

How it feels

A documentary set in a nursing home in Copenhagen's De Gamles By neighborhood. It centers on the small daily happenings in the kiosk, where residents buy candy and talk, as the place becomes a small sign of ordinary life.

What happens

Kiosk er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 2007 instrueret af Hilde Stålskjær. Midt på Nørrebro i København ligger De Gamles By; et indhegnet institutionsområde hvor 600 mennesker lever den sidste del af deres liv. Bortgemt og bortglemt. I De Gamles By er der en kiosk og en kirke. Liv og død. Filmen her handler om kiosken. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
