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

Vildfugl er en børnefilm fra 2012 instrueret af Jacob Bitsch efter eget manuskript. Karla har tæmmet fuglen Krabat som hun vil vise til Janus. Karla er forelsket i Janus, men da han afviser fuglen som ulækker, bliver Karla såret og reagerer voldsomt. Ikke på Janus, men på sin lillebror Mikkel, der må en tur på hospitalet efter mødet med sin forsmåede storesøster. En fin, men også kontant historie om 'forbudte' følelser hos en pige i tween-alderen. "Vildfugl" er en dramatisk historie om mørkelandet i barndommen, hvor grænser overskrides og svære følelser får luft, men hvor der også er ømhed og omsorg. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
