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

Ka' vi være det bekendt er en dansk dokumentarfilm skrevet og instrueret af Ib Makwarth. Nåle bores ind i betændt kød. Bevidstløse narkomaner samles op på gaden og køres bort i ambulancer. Sårede ansigter, sløvede øjne, ødelagte liv. Håbløshed. Grufuldhederne falder i tunge byger i dette dokument om den aktuelle situation for stofmisbrugere i Danmark. I 1981 lavede Ib Makwarth Vi anklager, en debatfilm om det danske narkoproblem. Den nye film spørger, om situationen er blevet bedre siden dengang. Uden at romantisere viser filmens åbenhjertige samtaler med stofmisbrugere, at der er mennesker bag de forstemmende statistikker. Filmen er udgivet sammen med Gas gas lightergas, der er et lille portræt af Preben. Før sejlede han med Fram og Fulton. Nu sidder han hver dag på en bænk i Odense og sniffer lightergas.
