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

Helsefabrikken (engelsk: Health Factory) er en norsk dokumentarfilm fra 2010. Filmen er skrevet av Håvard Bustnes og Jan Henriksen, og regissert av Håvard Bustnes. Filmen handler om hvordan det offentlige helsevesenet etterligner markedsmodeller og industriproduksjon for å bli mer effektive. I dokumentaren spørres det blant annet om man har glemt ideen om et helsevesen basert på solidaritet og rettferdighet? Ideen om at helsetjenester skal fordeles etter behov, ikke betalingsevne? Ideen om at det ikke skal være tapere i helsevesenet? (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
