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

Hei Verden er en norsk dokumentarfilm fra regissert av Kenneth Slotterøy Elvebakk. I filmen følger vi hovedpersonene Dina (13), Runa (12), Viktor (12) og Joachim (14) i litt over tre år. Alle befinner seg i starten av ungdomsskolen. Det de har tilfelles er at de er åpen skeive når filmen starter. De er de første som er åpent skeiv i egen klasse eller på egen skole. I et intervju med Periskop forklarer Elvebakk nærmere om bakgrunnen for filmen. Gunnar Iversen, professor i filmvitenskap ved Carleton University i Ottawa i Canada, skriver om Hei Verden og andre av regissørens skeive filmer i Rushprint. Mye av handlingen foregår på Grünerløkka og Fagerborg i Oslo, Holmestrand og Larvik. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
