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 sorte vej er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1987, der er instrueret af Knud Hauge efter eget manuskript. I 1986 blev Latinamerikas største kulmine åbnet i Colombias nordøstligste, golde og ørkenagtige område, hvor wayú-indianerne indtil da havde levet uforstyrret. Danmark er minens største kunde og Exxon (Esso) - et af USAs største multinationale selskaber - står for driften. Filmen er en rejse med kultoget på den 144 km lange tur gennem wayúernes land ud til Det Caribiske Hav. Den fortæller om minen, jernbanen, udskibningen af kullene, indianerne og de konsekvenser, mineeventyret har for den lokale befolkning. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
