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

En lille græsk ø er en film instrueret af Michael Varming efter manuskript af Michael Varming. Citat fra filmens start: "Denne film handler om en meget lille ø. En model af vore store samfund, men så lille, at det kan overskues. Øen ligger i Det græske Øhav. Det er der alt sammen. Noget landbrug, en by og en havn. Men filmen er også en historie om en forsvunden samfundsform. Et billede af vores eget samfund, som det var engang for mange år siden." Den lille græske ø og dens samfund har haft økologien som selve tilværelsens indhold - et samfund med sin egen balance, som nu kæntrer, fordi civilisationen er kommet og har vendt op og ned på alle værdier. Der er 280 mennesker tilmeldt folkeregistret på øen - er der nogen tilbage i 1990, spørger filmen, der er fra 1979. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
