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 16 year old girl in the coastal town of Essaouira, Morocco wants to become a boxer. Boxing is not seen as a sport for girls, so she pushes against that idea to be herself. The film shows her daily life in the boxing gym and with her friends.

What happens

Girl vs. World er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 2017 instrueret af Sofie Wolstrup og Laura Plummer. En 16-årig pige fra kystbyen Essaouira i Marokko drømmer om at blive bokser, men det er ikke let, når boksning ikke anses for at være en sport for piger. Hun kæmper mod dette fastlagte kønsmønster for retten til at være sig selv. Filmen følger hendes hverdag i Essaouira, både i boksehallen og når hun er sammen med sine veninder. Filmen er et indblik i klassiske ungdomstemaer, som viser sig at være identificerbare, selv om historien lokaliserer sig i en anden kultur. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
