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.
How it feels
This documentary follows 13-year-old Otgon in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. She trains at a circus school to become a contortionist, pushing her small body to its limits. The film shows her hard work and dream of performing internationally.

What happens
Otgon er en film instrueret af Frigge Volander Himmelstrup og Emil Aagaard. Ikke langt fra grønne sletter og åbne vider bor Otgon i Mongoliets hovedstad Ulaanbaatar. Hun er 13 år og går på en cirkusskole for at uddanne sig til slangemenneske. En disciplin hvor der kræves meget af hendes lille spinkle krop, der presses til det yderste både i forhold til smidighed, udholdenhed og balance. Men der er noget at kæmpe for. For som professionelt slangemenneske kan man både se frem til beundring, økonomisk stabilitet og muligheder for at vise sin kunst uden for Mongoliets grænser. Med en stor vilje og en indre styrke følger vi Otgon i et nært portræt og kommer helt tæt på den unge piges stræben for at nå sin drøm – at vise verden hvad hun kan. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
