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 16-year-old Danish girl travels to Indonesia and throws herself into the local culture. She learns the language, takes up Indonesian dances, and joins Islamic rituals. The poverty and social inequality she sees leave a strong impression on her.

What happens

Indonesien er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1991 instrueret af Linda Mira Hansen. En 16-årig dansk pige rejser til Indonesien, hvor hun helhjertet og med nogen uskyld involverer sig i indonesisk kultur. Den udbredte fattigdom og de sociale skel gør et stærkt indtryk på hende. I løbet af kort tid behersker hun sproget og for yderligere at identificere sig med den fremmede kultur, lærer hun sig indonesiske danse, ligesom hun deltager i islamiske ritualer.
