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 follows a family of nomads living on the Tibetan plateau at 4300 meters elevation. They talk about their daily life and concerns, mainly the river crossing they must make with their herds to find fresh pasture. The crossing is dangerous, and the family anxiously watches the water level as rain threatens to raise it.

What happens
Floden Dzachu er en dansk oplysningsfilm fra 2004 med ukendt instruktør. Filmen bringer seerne op på den østtibetanske højslette i 4.300 meters højde, hvor man følger en nomadefamilies dagligdag. Familiemedlemmerne fortæller træk fra deres liv og bekymringer, og filmens fortæller uddyber baggrunden. Det er en periode, hvor familien har særlige bekymringer. De holder hele tiden øje med flodens vandstand. Den plejer at synke her på forsommeren, men der er optræk til regn, så vandstanden måske vil stige. De skal nemlig over floden, hele familien med deres dyreflok, for at finde friske græsgange på den anden side. Og det er en yderst farlig krydsning med risiko for druknedød for folk og fæ. Kommer de over? Vil der være en løsning, der gør det lettere i fremtiden? Vil nomaderne bevare deres kultur og traditionelle levevis? (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
