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

Ett rättfärdigt krig? eller Ett folkmord i Gulfen är en svensk dokumentärfilm från 1992 i regi av Maj Wechselmann. Filmen skildrar Gulfkriget ett år efter dess utbrott. Civilbefolkningens situationen står i fokus och studenter, läkare, militärer och andra irakier berättar om kriget och dess följder. Filmen handlar också om krigsförbrytelser som ska ha begåtts under konflikten. Filmen mottogs positivt av kritikerkåren. Den utlöste även en debatt där Maria Bergom-Larsson anklagade Sveriges Television för att i sin nyhetsrapportering okritiskt ha visat den officiella amerikanska versionen av kriget, samtidigt som man tackat nej till att visa Wechselmanns film. SVT avfärdarde dock kritiken och menade att man visat flera inslag som varit kritiska till kriget. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
