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

Den døende doktoren er en norsk dokumentarfilm fra 2008 av Nina Grünfeld. Filmen følger Nina Grünfelds far psykiateren Berthold Grünfeld gjennom de siste tre månedene av hans liv våren og sommeren 2007 da han har fått påvist uhelbredelig kreft. Samspillet mellom Berthold Grünfeld og familien står sentralt, sammen med psykiaterens tanker om sitt liv og om døden. Berthold Grünfeld døde i sitt eget hjem og Nina Grünfeld ønsket blant annet at filmen skulle få betydning for debatten om retten og muligheten for alvorlig syke til å dø hjemme. Filmen var Nina Grünfelds andre film om sin far, etter Grünfeld - ukjent opphav som kom i 2005. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
