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 looks at how the EU gives development aid to poor countries while also subsidizing European farmers whose surplus production hurts those same countries. It uses a portrait of departing development commissioner Poul Nielson to show the contradictions and different interests at play.

What happens

EU og de fattige er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 2004, der er skrevet og instrueret af Jesper Heldgaard. EU er verdens største donor af udviklingsbistand, og den vigtigste handelspartner for mange af verdens allerfattigste lande. Men samtidig giver EU milliarder af euro i støtte til europæiske landmænd, så deres overskudsproduktion ødelægger markederne i de fattige lande. Gennem et portræt af den afgående udviklingskommissær Poul Nielson belyses de mange åbenlyse paradokser i EU's forhold til udviklingslandene og de forskellige interesser, der står bag.
