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

De pårørende – når ens barn rammes af psykisk sygdom er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 2021 instrueret af Vibe Mogensen. Der er en ekstrem usikkerhed ved at leve tæt på og elske et psykisk sygt menneske, som kan svinge i sit sygdomsforløb og for eksempel blive selvskadende eller udadreagerende. Og det overbelastede system kan have mere eller mindre plads til at hjælpe. Psykisk sygdom er blevet Danmarks nye folkesygdom nummer et, men alligevel er den fortsat forbundet med tabu. Denne film er blevet til i det ellers helt tavshedsbelagte terapirum, hvor fem forældre til psykisk syge voksne børn mødes for at lære at leve med deres vilkår. Børnenes diagnoser er forskellige, men den belastning, som deres forældre lever med, er den samme: De er bundet til børnene i kærlighed og sygdommen er langvarig, måske kronisk.
