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

Second Class är en litauisk-svensk dokumentärfilm från 2012 i regi av Marta Dauliute och Elisabeth Marjanović Cronvall. Filmen skildrar litauiska gästarbetare och regissörernas intention var att visa på hur dessa utgör ett slags andra klassens arbetskraft. Man stötte dock på motstånd då arbetare varken lät sig filmas eller kategoriseras. Filmen producerades, fotades och klipptes av Dauliute och Marjanović Cronvall. Second Class premiärvisades i november 2012 i Litauen och visades i Sveriges första gången den 26 januari 2013 på Göteborgs filmfestival. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
