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 street boys in the Philippines are chosen to live for one year at a center on a small island. When the year ends they must return to their families and their old life of poverty. The film follows whether they can keep their new sense of self or fall back into hardship.

What happens
School of Life er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 2017 instrueret af Mikala Krogh. ”School of Life” handler om en gruppe filippinske gadedrenge, der udvælges til at få et nyt liv på et center på en lille ø syd for Manila. Men paradiset varer kun et år, så skal drengene genforenes med deres familier og tilbage til den barske virkelighed. Filmen undersøger, om det er muligt for gadedrengene at ændre livsretning efter at have få en ny selvindsigt eller om hverdagslivet fyldt af fattigdom og nød sender dem tilbage til udgangspunktet. “School of life” er en film om tilfældigheder og skæbne, om at være blandt de udvalgte, om håb og om bristede drømme.
