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

Skyggebarn er en dokumentarfilm fra 2021 instrueret af Cille Hannibal De fleste mennesker har fem sanser. Peter har kun tre, da han mistede både syn og hørelse som nyfødt. Hans familie må derfor se og høre verden for ham. I dag er Peter 29 år, og hans behov er så særlige, at han bor fuldtid hos sine forældre. Da hans mor, Jonna, for fire år siden blev diagnosticeret med kræft, medførte det, at en større tankeproces blev sat i gang: Hvad skal der ske med hendes 29-årige døvblinde søn, når hun ikke er der mere? Hjælpen fra det offentlige er ikke tilstrækkelig, og det er derfor op til Jonna, Peters far, Jørgen, samt hans søster, Christine, at klare deres udfordrende hverdag på egen hånd.
