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

Jorgen Leth captures his impressions of Haiti in cinema verite style. The film shows the country's unusual history and its blend of unreal reality, fantasy, voodoo and political terror.

What happens

Haiti. Uden titel er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1996 med instruktion og manuskript af Jørgen Leth. Jørgen Leth har haft Haïti som sit andet hjem i årevis. Nu har han i cinema verité-form fastholdt sine indtryk af ø-republikkens usædvanlige historie og dens verden af virkelig uvirkelighed, fantastisk realisme, voodoo og politisk terror. Mens Leth har kigget og lyttet og fastholdt, har han bevaret sin åbenhed og uskyld som gæsten, der klogt nok afholder sig fra bedrevidende kommentarer. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
