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

Ilden i Kroppen er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1992 instrueret af Hans Jørgen Konradsen efter eget manuskript. Bo Wikstrøm, som er psykolog og kropsterapeut er rejst til Kalahari-ørkenen for at undersøge trancedans. Buskmændene bruger dansen til at helbrede og forebygge sygdomme. Dansen bruges også til fest og leg, og stridigheder kan danses væk. Bo indvies til trancedansen. Kvinderne har deres egen dans, melondans. Det er fest og leg, frugtbarheden og seksualiteten kastes fra den ene til den anden. Hele natten danser mændene for at helbrede to mennesker fra landsbyen. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
