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 documentary crew travels to Albania in 1990 to explore everyday life in the isolated country. They find a strong cult of personality around the late leader Enver Hoxha but also openness about workplace issues, decent treatment of minorities, a sizable film industry, and well-educated young people.

What happens

Albanien ... marts 90 er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1990 instrueret af Ib Makwarth efter eget manuskript. Filmholdet besøgte Albanien for at "forsøge at opleve hverdagen i det ellers så lukkede land, Østeuropas sidste socialistiske bastion." Det fandt personkulten omkring landsfaderen Enver Hoxa voldsom, men også at åbenheden omkring arbejdspladsproblemer var til stede, at minoriteter behandles ordentligt, at der er en relativt stor filmindustri, at de unge er veluddannede m.m. En oversigtlig rapport fra et land, som på filmholdet ikke virkede så isoleret, som det havde forventet. Siden er meget sket i Albanien. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
