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

A documentary about the daily life of residents in the Sardinian town of Bosa. It follows the local men's choir, the nuns who run a printing press, and the townspeople as they face economic hardship and consider turning to tourism.

What happens

Coro di Bosa er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1998, der er instrueret af Ulla Boje Rasmussen. Middelhavet - vestkysten af Sardinien - Bosa med 9.059 indbyggere. Engang var Bosa en velhavende by med mange små og store virksomheder, i dag er der stor arbejdsløshed. Denne klassiske dokumentarfilm skildrer dagligliv i Bosa: arbejdet med vinen hos den lille og store vinbonde, det sorte og hvide karneval, fodboldkamp på byens lille stadion og på caféen foran tv. Vi møder Bosas indbyggere: Mændene i byens berømte kor Coro Di Bosa, der er omdrejningspunkt i filmens fortælling, nonnerne, der driver byens trykkeri, og radioværten, som kommenterer lokale og nationale forhold. Bosa står midt i en overgang, og i hvilket omfang, der skal satses på turismen for at komme ud af de store økonomiske problemer, optager sindene i en billedskøn men langt fra problemfri virkelighed.
