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

Cuba på cykel / Cuba en bicicleta er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1995 med instruktion og manuskript af Stig Hartkopf. Et ærligt portræt af et samfund der normalt ikke er tilgængeligt i særlig stor udstrækning for udlændinge. Stig Hartkopf cyklede tværs over Cuba på en gammel kinesisk cykel med et Hi8-kamera. Han optog hvad han så af komiske turister, cubanske familier i byen og på landet og spurgte menneskene på sin vej om deres drømme og håb. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
