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

Oleg og krigen er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 2017 instrueret af Simon Lereng Wilmont. 10-årige Oleg bor i det østlige Ukraine – en krigszone der ofte genlyder af antiluftskyts og missilbombardementer. Til tider er disse lyde langt væk, men andre gange frygtindgydende tæt på. Mens mange har forladt det farlige område, er Oleg blevet tilbage sammen med sin bedstemor, som har taget sig af ham, siden hans mor døde. De har ikke andre steder at tage hen. Mens han venter på, at krigen slutter, bruger Oleg tiden på at hænge ud med sin yngre fætter Yarik og den ældre dreng Kostia. Sammen tager de på eventyr, hvor de taler om at blive rigtige mænd og prøver hinandens grænser af – men går af og til for langt. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
