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
Barnepigerne er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 2020 instrueret af Signe Barvild Stæhr. I filmen vender filmskaberen Signe Barvild Stæhr tilbage til tabet af sin mor, da hun selv var blot fem år gammel, og hun rekonstruerer sin barndom i 1980’ernes forstadskøbenhavn i en performativ dokumentar. Signe bladrer gennem gamle fotos og diskuterer dem med sin far, som oven på Signes mors død overlod Signe til skiftende barnepiger. Barnepigerne flyttede ind hos Signe og faren i kortere perioder, og deres afsked betød mere smerte og mindre tryghed for Signe. Men meget står uklart i både hendes og farens erindring, og Signe beslutter sig for at opsøge barnepigerne. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
