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.

How it feels

A group of boys aged 11 to 14 meet at a summer camp organized by Red Barnet. The boys come from homes with little support and face marginalization and bullying in their daily lives. During the five day camp, they overcome their defenses and show care for each other with humor and directness, discovering strengths in themselves that they did not know they had.

What happens

Drengelejren er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 2013, der er instrueret af Cathrine Marchen Asmussen. Filmens skildrer en gruppe drenge fra 11-14 år, som mødes og finder hinanden på en sommerlejr arrangeret af Red Barnet. Drengene kommer fra hjem uden meget overskud, og deres hverdag er præget af marginalisering og mobning. På trods af de svære omstændigheder viser drengene sig i stand til at nærme sig hinanden og give hinanden omsorg. Deres indbyrdes kontakt er båret af humor og en afvæbnende bramfrihed, når først isen og de negative mønstre bliver brudt. På de fem dage lejren varer, finder drengene ressourcer i sig selv som hverken de selv eller andre drømte om, at de havde. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
