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

Through darkness er en dokumentarfilm fra 2003 skrevet og instrueret af Hannes Lintrop og Renita Lintrop. »Through Darkness« er en filosofisk reflekterende dokumentarfilm om minearbejderes skæbne i Ida-Virumaa i den nordøstlige del af Estland. Her sætter minearbejdere hver dag livet på spil for en ussel løn, og de lider næsten alle af ondt i ryggen, lungebetændelse og tuberkulose. I byen er over halvdelen af fabrikkerne nedlagt, og gaderne ligger øde og forladt. Filmens hovedperson er den 28-årige familiefar Aleksandr Koman. De ændrede livsomstændigheder får ham til at reflektere over forholdet mellem mennesker og natur, mellem Gud og mennesker. Kan man overhovedet finde fred og harmoni under sådanne trøstesløse livsbetingelser? Aleksandr Tomak forsøger. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
