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

Three Romani survivors of Nazi concentration camps give their personal accounts of the horrors they endured during World War II. The film uses still images from the camps and a short film excerpt to connect their individual stories to the broader tragedy of their people. It also reflects on the ongoing situation of Romani people today.

What happens

Sigøjnernes holocaust... 3 vidneudsagn er en film instrueret af Fritz Pedersen efter eget manuskript. Emilio Kozhikow, Milos Karoli og Franz Josef Czardas har det til fælles, at de er sigøjnere, og at de har overlevet nazisternes udryddelseslejre under Anden Verdenskrig. Stille og gribende fortæller de om ufattelige lidelser og umenneskelige forhold. Og om bestialske henrettelser. Men også om vilje og styrke. Med mange stillbilleder fra kz-lejrene og et eksempel fra en tjekkisk novellefilm bevæger filmen sig også fra det personlige til det almene, bliver et rekviem over et helt folks skæbne og har en kommentar til sigøjnernes vilkår i dag.
