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 film is built from footage shot by artist Poul Gernes during a trip to Egypt in 1978. It was edited into a finished work nearly 20 years later by Steen Møller Rasmussen. The clapperboard and some sync audio remain, showing Gernes at work and hinting at a lost soundtrack.

What happens
Kairo er en dansk eksperimentalfilm fra 1978. Baggrunden for filmen er, at Poul Gernes i 1978 tog til Egypten, hvor han optog en hel del filmruller, der dog aldrig blev redigeret til en færdig film. Steen Møller Rasmussen har på baggrund af optagelserne skabt filmen i 1997. Gernes' synkroniseringsklap er medtaget, så man både ser Gernes i aktion og forstår, at der har været et lydspor.
