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
This documentary follows a small-time criminal in Iceland as he moves between bars, prison, and social services. It shows his daily routines without judgment or drama.

What happens
Lalli Johns er heimildarmynd um smáglæpamanninn Lalla Johns. Þorfinnur Guðnason fylgdi Lalla eftir í nokkurn tíma til að mynda hann við daglegt amstur. Myndin vakti mikla athygli árið 2001 þegar hún var sýnd í Háskólabíó við mun meiri aðsókn en íslenskar heimildamyndir eiga að venjast í kvikmyndahúsum. [heimild vantar] Í myndinni er Lalla fylgt eftir þar sem hann flækist á milli kráa, Litla-Hrauns og félagsstofnanna. Árið 2001 hlaut Þorfinnur Guðnason, leikstjóri myndarinnar Menningaverðlaun DV fyrir kvikmyndagerð. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
