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 is a personal essay about the clash between an ancient ritual culture and modern tourism. It was filmed on the Indonesian island of Bali, where the director describes the local Hinduism as one of the most wonderfully sensual and visually generous cultures in the world, while mass tourism booms there.

What happens
Trance dance er en dokumentarfilm fra 1992 instrueret af Morten Skriver efter manuskript af Morten Skriver. Et personligt essay om en gammel rituel kultur stillet overfor det moderne turistmenneske. Filmen er optaget på den indonesiske ø Bali, hvor - med instruktørens ord - den særlige balinesiske hinduisme er "en af de mest vidunderligt sanselige og visuelt generøse kulturer, verden har kendt". Og hvor den internationale masseturisme har et af sine mest intensive og blomstrende vækstområder. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
