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.

How it feels

A Danish filmmaker travels to China in the 1980s using the Trans-Siberian Railway. He explores smaller towns and rural areas to see how accessible the country really is for travelers and to experience everyday life beyond the tourist spots.

What happens

Kina - Midt i en vandmelontid er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1987, der er instrueret af Lars Bjørndal. Hvor er forårsrullen? Er Kina blevet tilgængeligt for den rejsende? I 1984 skrev en fyr til en avis: 'I Kina er kun de mindre byer lukkede - risbonden ser man kun fra togvinduet'. Kunne det være rigtigt - stadigvæk? Med den transsibiriske jernbane blev en Kina-rejse til. En rejse for at opleve landsbyen - opleve en forårsrulle, der ikke lugtede af den lokale grill. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
