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

What happens

Jonas - Logistikchefens søn er en dansk børnefilm fra 2008, der er instrueret af Anja Kvistgaard Marott. Jonas på 10 har en far, der arbejder som logistikchef. Det betyder, at han tit taler i mobiltelefon eller arbejder på computeren - også når han er sammen med Jonas. Jonas fortæller med lige dele humor og smerte om, hvor træt han er af at føle sig som nummer to efter sin fars arbejde. Desuden bryder han sig ikke om at skulle undvære sin far, når han tager på forretningsrejser, for Jonas er rigtig bange for, at der skal ske ham noget ondt, men det er svært at snakke om for dem begge to.
