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

De besatte er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 2003 instrueret af Jørgen Flindt Pedersen efter eget manuskript. Filmen handler om fem palæstinenseres liv i Gaza og på Vestbredden. Fortællingen om deres 'besatte' hverdag væves sammen med beskrivelsen af det palæstinensiske folks historie, siden de mistede deres land i 1948. Filmen handler om undertrykkelsens og besættelsens dæmoniske natur; om hadet og vreden hos et folk, hvis åndedræt gennem generationer har været kontrolleret af staten Israel. Men det er også en film om den livsglæde og kærlighed, der vokser frem - trods alt - under deres ufrivillige indespærring. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
