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

Vejen til Sartano er en dokumentarfilm instrueret af Theodor Christensen efter eget manuskript. Om Mellemfolkeligt Samvirkes hjælpearbejde i landsbyen Sartano i Syditalien. Byen, som tæller godt 2000 indbyggere, var indtil 1952 kun forbundet med omverden i form af muldyrstier - en af Italiens glemte landsbyer. Med støtte fra den italienske organisation Nationalforeningen til bekæmpelse af analfabetisme, blev der oprettet et center for voksenundervisning. Med gennemførelsen af en rigtig vejforbindelse til Sartano blev isolationen for alvor brudt. I 1953 begyndte Mellemfolkeligt Samvirke et samarbejde med centrene i og omkring Sartano. De udsendte danskere levede og arbejdede sammen med Sartanos bønder, hjalp dem med at løse praktiske problemer i hjem og landbrug og underviste i deres center om aftenen. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
