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
A 1968 Danish documentary presents Kuwait as a modernizing society. It shows how oil wealth funds free education, healthcare, and no taxes for residents. The film notes the old desert ways have vanished and that tradition mostly lives on in television music programs.

What happens
Her er Kuwait er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1968 med instruktion og manuskript af Svend Aage Lorentz. Filmen skildrer moderniseringen af Kuwait som et mønster samfund for landene i den arabiske verden. Hver dag kommer, hvad der svarer til, 10 millioner kroner ind i olieindtægter. Indbyggerne betaler ingen skat og har fri adgang til uddannelse og sygehus. Der er fælles skoler for piger og drenge. Det politiske system er stadig domineret af sheik-familierne. De gamle ørkensamfund er stort set helt væk fra Kuwait, velstanden er betydelig. Traditionen findes tilsyneladende kun i musikprogrammerne på TV. Titlen refererer til Radio Kuwaits præsentation af alle udsendelser. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
