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.

How it feels

This documentary goes to Nicaragua to show how a group of men in Managua work to prevent domestic violence. It explores how they challenge the macho culture that often includes violence in the home.

What happens

Macho er en oplysningsfilm fra 2003 instrueret af Heidi Egelund og Tina Splidsboel. Filmen tager os med til Nicaragua i Mellemamerika. Vold i hjemmet er en del af macho-kulturen i Nicaragua. Vi vil skildre, hvordan en gruppe mænd i Managua bryder med den sociale arv, når de søger at forebygge vold i hjemmet. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
