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
This documentary looks at Tanzania's struggle to hold onto its traditional music, song, and dance, known as ngoma, while facing pressure from Western culture. It shows how the education system works to keep these traditions alive.

What happens
Ngoma i Tanzania er en film instrueret af Henny Hammershøj. Som mange udviklingslande står Tanzanias befolkning i konflikten mellem at overtage den vestlige kultur eller bevare deres egne kulturelle rødder: Musik, sang og dans, som med et ord kaldes NGOMA. Ngoma er ensbetydende med fest. Hvordan overlever den traditionelle kultur i konkurrence med vestlig kultur? Hvad gør uddannelsessystemet for at bevare traditionerne? (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
