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

Ujamaa er en film instrueret af Erik Odde. Ujamaa er den tanzanianske betegnelse for familiefællesskaber i små landsbysamfund, hvor man deler alt med hinanden. Filmen viser hjælpearbejde i form af kamp mod tæger, der tager livet af husdyr, skolegang, de 2-3 årlige sundhedsbesøg i landsbyerne. Tillige får man et indblik i kaffedyrkning. Og industrialisering. Men det er den tanzanianske regerings ønske at fokusere mindre på industrialisering efter vestligt forbillede og støtte de tropiske småbønder ved at vende tilbage til Ujamaa.
