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
Rolling Girls er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 2014 instrueret af Rene Odgaard. Roller Derby er en aggressiv kontaktsport primært for kvinder. En sport hvor kvinderne maler sig med krigsmaling i ansigtet, bærer hjelm og tandbeskyttere samtidig med, at de bærer hotpants, netstrømper og neglelak. Men hvad signalerer denne påklædning? I Roller Derby-miljøet er der intern uenighed om, hvad pigerne skal repræsentere: Nogen mener, de skal være lækre babes og andre - med rødder i feminismen - mener ikke, de skal udstille deres køn og fremstå som sexobjekter. De ønsker, at Roller Derby skal betragtes som en seriøs sportsgren på lige fod med andre sportsgrene. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
