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 observes Chinese people during lunchtime. It looks at whether traditional food culture still exists in modern China or if fast food has taken over.

What happens

China Lunch Hour er en film instrueret af Anne Sofie Schrøder, Nynne Blak. Filmen tager os med til Maos Kina, - eller er det nu også Maos Kina? Kan vi stadig finde Maos Kina i den moderne udvikling med verdens største økonomiske vækstrater? Vi kommer lige til spisetid, så lad os smugkigge på spisende kinesere. Er de moderne tider slået igennem på maden? Er burgeren på banen eller hvad? Vi er med mange kinesere ude at spise. Måltidet og omgivelserne viser os både tradition og fornyelse. Hvor blev Mao af?
