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

Den grønne fattigdom er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1983 med instruktion og manuskript af Jens Ravn. Bag det smukke og frodige Bangladeshs grønne facade er virkeligheden en anden. Fattigdommen, kampen for overlevelse, er hverdag for de fleste. Sådan er det også i provinsen Noakhali, hvor danske rådgivere søger at hjælpe på den danske stats vegne, gennem DANIDA. I landdistriktet bor de fleste i barrier - et fællesskab, som kan være udgangspunkt for den hjælp til selvhjælp, som danskerne giver. Filmen følger blandt andet en familie for at introducere problemerne, som også udspringer af et patriarkalsk, religiøst dikteret, kvindeundertrykkende samfund. Rådgiverne har sat håndværksprojekter i gang for kvinder, etableret et væld af skoler, undervist i ernæring og meget andet. Hjælpen skønnes at have nået 60.000, men der er meget, meget langt igen i et samfund, hvor også kontrasten mellem rig og fattig stiller sig hindrende for fremskridt. (Se også »).
