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

Patatje oorlog is een Nederlandse kinderfilm uit 2011, geregisseerd door Nicole van Kilsdonk. Het is een live-actionfilm, maar enge fantasieën over wat er gebeurt en kan gebeuren in een oorlog en over het doden van dieren worden wat luchtiger gepresenteerd in de vorm van animatie. Patatje oorlog is de verfilming van het boek Een Kleine Kans van Marjolijn Hof uit 2006. Patatje oorlog was de openingsfilm van het kindermediafestival Cinekid 2011. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
