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

Det Hvide guld er en film instrueret af Nicolas Arroyo, Jacob Rold Christiansen og Rune Toldam. Salar de Uyuni er verdens største saltsø. Det er et unikt område, der med sine golde sletter og enorme vidder henleder tankerne på et nærmest månelignende landskab. I denne del af Bolivia bliver salt betragtet som en kilde til liv, og den ydmyge saltarbejder Santos Colque kalder det for 'Det hvide guld'. For selvom et ton salt kun giver 16 kr., muliggør det hans drøm om at give sine fem børn den uddannelse, han aldrig selv fik. Dette er historien om en ægtemand, en arbejder og en fader, der målrettet forsøger at ændre den skæbne hans børn blev givet ved fødslen. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
