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

David eller Goliath er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1988 med instruktion og manuskript af Anne Regitze Wivel. En film om verdenspressen i Jerusalem, optaget i Beit Agron, som er regeringens pressehus. De medvirkende korrespondenter følger den israelsk-palæstinensiske konflikt på tæt hold og er afhængig af informationer fra pressehuset, hvor chefen er journalist af uddannelse, men også regeringens mand. Hvordan får de verdenspressen til at tegne et positivt billede af Israel, når pressefriheden indskrænkes? Filmen er optaget i marts 1988, hvor den palæstinensiske opstand i de besatte områder var tre måneder gammel. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
