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 the Yiddish language and music of Eastern European Jewish communities before World War Two. It shows how songs and melodies were central to daily life in the small towns called shtetlekh. The film uses music to remember a world that no longer exists.

What happens

Jiddisch musik er en film instrueret af Marian Hirschorn. I tiden før 2. Verdenskrig levede Østeuropas jøder i små byer, "shtetlekh", og talte næsten udelukkende jiddisch – en slags tysk blandet med hebraisk og lokalt sprog. Musik spillede en væsentlig rolle i deres liv. Nu eksisterer disse byer ikke mere, og med den ældre generation forsvinder også jiddisch som levende sprog. Gennem sang og musik beskrives miljøet dengang. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
