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

A Danish film crew gets permission to film a sinking ship in the Philippines that has held 1800 refugees for four months in extreme heat and humidity. The documentary describes one refugee camp among many, without taking sides on blame or politics.

What happens

Tung An - Skib uden havn er en film instrueret af Philip Sadolin, Ib Makwarth. Det danske filmhold var det første, der fik de fillipinske myndigheders tilladelse til at filme bådflygtninge på den betingelse, at der ikke blev lavet interviews. Da filmen bliver lavet, er der stadigvæk 1800 mennesker tilbage på det synkefærdige skib, og de har været der i fire måneder i 40 graders varme og 90% luftfugtighed. Filmen tager ikke stilling til skyldsspørgsmål eller de politiske forhold, der har bragt disse mennesker ud i dette mareridt. Den er alene en beskrivelse af een flygtningelejr blandt verdens utallige. Og der er stadigvæk 12 millioner flygtninge i verden. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
