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

Skierri – dvärgbjörkarnas land är en finländsk-svensk naturfilm från 1982 i regi av Markku Lehmuskallio. Filmen skildrar människorna som lever och har sin försörjning i den nordligaste delen av finska Lappland inte långt från Treriksröset. Filmen skildrar även kollisionen mellan två kulturer, den samiska och den finska, mellan samisk sedvanerätt och tradition och finsk lagstiftning. Skierri är samiska och betyder dvärgbjörk. Lehmuskallio belönades med Guldantennen 1984 för sina insatser i filmen. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
