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

The Jew in the Lotus is een Amerikaanse documentairefilm uit 1998, geregisseerd door Laurel Chiten in opdracht van PBS. De documentaire draait om Rodger Kamenetz, de schrijver van het boek The Jew in the Lotus. In de documentaire is te zien hoe hij zijn weg terugvond naar het Jodendom, en hoe hij op het idee kwam zijn boek te schrijven. Leidraad in het verhaal is de historische dialoog tussen rabbijnen en dalai lama Tenzin Gyatso, het eerste vastgelegde grote overleg tussen experts in het jodendom en het boeddhisme.
