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

Amandla! Maatla! är en svensk dokumentärfilm från 1984 i regi av Magnus Bergmar och Kjell Söderlund. Filmen spelades in i Tanzania och handlar om den unga flickan Mujaki som går på ett college drivet av sydafrikanska befrielsefronten ANC. I skolan varvas vanliga skolämnen med en tydlig politisk agenda: ungdomarna ska lära sig att kämpa mot apartheid. Filmen belönades med Örnipriset 1984 för "bästa svenska kortfilm för ungdom" och 1985 med ett pris vid en filmfestival i Östersund för "bästa svenska ungdomsfilm". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
