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

The film shows people in Morocco staring across the Mediterranean toward Spain, hoping to catch sight of Europe. It follows two men, Mohammed and Mustafa, as they decide whether to risk crossing the sea in small boats.

What happens

Transit Tanger er en film fra 2004 instrueret af Heidi Tüchsen og Georg Götmark. Beskrivelse: I Marokko stirrer folk ud over Middelhavet for at få et glimt af det forjættede land i EU, nemlig Spanien. Kan de mon ane konturerne af et forbjerg derude i disen? Hvad er der galt i Marokko? Hvad får folk til at sætte livet på spil, selv i små både, for at krydse havet og snige sig i land på den spanske kyst? Mohammed og Mustafa ønsker brændende at komme til Spanien, men er det virkelig så godt derovre? Hvilke overvejelser gør de to sig og hvorledes handler de? (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
