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.

How it feels

This documentary examines how development work affects Maya descendant communities in southeastern Mexico. Through interviews with the indigenous people themselves, it explores how their historical, linguistic, and cultural conditions determine the success or failure of the projects.

What happens

Mellem to kulturer er en film instrueret af Børge Høst, Arild Hvidtfeldt. I det sydøstlige Mexico nær grænsen til Guatemala lever nogle indianerstammer, efterkommere efter mayaerne, og i 15 år har det mexicanske udviklingsinstitut arbejdet på at udvikle dette område ved at forbedre undervisningen, kommunikationen, sundhedstilstanden etc. Filmen har sat sig som mål at undersøge og dokumentere vilkårene for og virkningen af et u-landsarbejde først og fremmest set "indefra", fra modtagernes, altså her indianernes side. Den gør det ved, gennem samtale med indianerne selv, at søge belyst, hvorledes disse egne historiske, sproglige, kulturelle og andre forudsætninger som helt afgørende faktorer er med til at bestemme, om udviklingsarbejdet skal lykkes eller mislykkes.
