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
Kalule er en portrætfilm instrueret af Jørgen Leth, der også har skrevet manuskriptet. I filmen om den 25-årige ugandesiske bokser Ayub Kalule får tilskueret glimt fra to vigtige kampe i hans karriere, nemlig mod Ralph Palladin og Sugar Ray Seals. Filmens omdrejningspunkt er forberedelserne til Kalules store VM-kamp, som finder sted i Japan den 24. oktober 1979. Men Jørgen Leth portrætterer også manden bag boksehandskerne. Kalule fortæller om sin afrikanske baggrund, om forholdet til faderen og om mødet med Danmark og de danske boksetilskuere. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
