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
Afrika i Aalborg er en dokumentarfilm fra 2002 instrueret af Mette Knudsen efter eget manuskript. Via portrættet af to charmerende, fremmedartede kvinder foretager filmen et punktnedslag i en fjerntliggende kultur, nemlig den afrikanske, placeret i et hjørne af det nordlige Europa, nærmere bestemt Aalborg. Filmen giver både et indblik i det multikulturelle Danmark, samt udgør et positivt og værdigt modbillede til det foruroligende, negative hade-billede, der efterhånden er blevet det gængse, når der tales om udlændinge herhjemme. For mange danskere er en udlænding i dag nærmest pr. definition ensbetydende med en 2. generations, ung, arbejdsløs muslim - dvs. = en potentiel trouble maker og nasser på det sociale system.
