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.
How it feels
The film is about the slum conditions in the Vesterbro district of Copenhagen. It shows how rapid speculative construction created overcrowded apartments where people lived in very poor conditions.

What happens
Slum er en film instrueret af Jørgen Roos efter manuskript af samme. Vesterbro voksede op på 30 år i et forrygende spekulationsbyggeri. Det blev Danmarks største saneringsproblem, hvor mennesker boede - og bor - i overbefolkede lejligheder under meget dårlige forhold. Filmens regnes for at være et af dansk kortfilms sociale hovedværker. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
