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
Pigen fra Oradour er en film instrueret af Ib Makwarth. Lørdag den 10. juni 1944 står den otte-årige Genevieve Desourteaux op for at gå i skole. Hvad hun ikke ved, er, at bare ti kilometer derfra planlægger SS en aktion mod hendes fødeby Oradour-sur-Glane i Midtfrankrig, - en total udslettelse af byen og dens befolkning. 642 mennesker blev brutalt myrdet - mænd, kvinder, børn og gamle. Historien om massakren fortælles i filmen med nøgterne billeder fra åstedet, som det tager sig ud i dag med mennesketomme, græsbevoksede ruiner. Filmens intention er at lade tragedien i Oradour være synonym med alle massakrer før og nu, - en advarsel mod racisme og fremmedhad. Filmen fik en Robert i 2001 i form af "Dokumentarfilm-juryens Specialpris". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
