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

Fat Front er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 2019, der er instrueret af Louise Detlefsen og Louise Unmack Kjeldsen. Der er en revolution i gang i Skandinavien, hvor en række kvinder har fået nok af selvhad og skam og stolt kalder sig tykke. De kræver respekt og ligeværd i et sygt, slanke-fikseret samfund, mens de kæmper med et helt livs lavt selvværd. I alt for mange år har de sat deres liv på pause. Ventet med at købe tøj, tage ud at danse, få en kæreste – til de en dag ville blive tynde. Det skete aldrig. I stedet fandt de hinanden og den kropspositive bevægelse. Nu slipper de deres deller og blævrende lår fri og bruger deres tykke kroppe aktivistisk. Med feminismens provokerende tone og et kunstnerisk blik på kroppens naturlige skønhed vil filmen ændre seerens blik på kroppen. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
