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

This Place We Call Our Home er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 2014 instrueret af Sybilla Tuxen og Thora Lorentzen. Krig kommer som en snigende fornemmelse, der trænger ind gennem sprækkerne i de ukrainske hjem. Gennem musik og nærværende hverdagsscener møder vi forskellige lag i samfundet; dem der venter, dem der bliver hjemme. Hver enkelt bliver tvunget til at tage stilling til krigens konsekvenser og træffe afgørende valg. Vi møder to bedste venner, der befinder sig i en passiv ventetid. Den ene vil kæmpe ved fronten for Ukraine, den anden vil blive derhjemme. Han tror af princip ikke på krigen. De står foran afskeden, et farvel de begge forsøger at fortrænge.
