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 celebrates Indian cinema by traveling through Mumbai, the heart of the country's film industry. It shows how movies, music, and stars like Shah Rukh Khan connect people across different cultures and social classes.

What happens
Larger than life er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 2003 skrevet og instrueret af Helle Ryslinge. Bombay er verdens største filmby og Indiens økonomiske kraftcenter. En endeløs metropol med et ukendt antal millioner beboere, der lever under meget forskellige forhold. Limen, der binder dette spraglede kludetæppe af Indiens etniske og religiøse grupper og sociale klasser sammen, er ifølge instruktør Helle Rysling den glødende nationalfølelse, cricket - og film! »Larger than Life« er en hyldest til indisk film, til dens musikalitet, sanseligheden, skønheden, energien og glæden ved selve mediet. En rejse ind i den indiske filmkulturs sjæl; de tætpakkede biografsale, rundt i gaderne, hvor film er synlig overalt, og bag kameraet, hvor vi møder superstjernerne Shah Rukh Khan og Manisha Koirala.
