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

Engle hører til i himlen er en kortfilm instrueret af Charlotte Madsen efter eget manuskript. Lau er syv år gammel og bor på et børnehjem, hvor han har boet siden hans far hængte sig selv en juleaften. Nu er det jul igen, og Lau prøver stadig at forstå sin far og ikke mindst sig selv. Laus metode til forståelse er farlig og ugennemtænkt, men føles rigtig. Om natten når alle sover, går Lau op på børnehjemmets loft, hvor han gemmer alle minderne om sin far. En dag ankommer pigen Esta til børnehjemmet, og måske har hun det på samme måde. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
