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 kryolite mining in Greenland over more than a hundred years. It covers the physical hole in the ground near Ivigtut, the wealth generated for Denmark, and the hard lonely lives of Danish workers, often with illness. The film also asks who should get the profits, a question still relevant today.

What happens
Et hul i jorden er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1987 instrueret af Peter Ronild efter eget manuskript. Kryolitten er hentet op fra den grønlandske undergrund i mere end 100 år. Det vidner et hul i jorden om nær Ivigtut, og det vidner de store gevinster om, som danskerne har gjort gennem formalinger og den industrielle udnyttelse af mineralerne, som har givet tusinder af danske arbejdere og funktionærer et hårdt og ensomt liv, ofte med sygdomme som resultat. Men også historien om retten til gevinsten - aktuelt den dag i dag. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
