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

I soldatens fodspor er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 2005 skrevet og instrueret af Mette Zeruneith. Steven Ndugga var 13, da han blev soldat i Uganda. Han er 30 år og politisk flygtning i Danmark, da han henvender sig til et dansk filmselskab for at få sin historie fortalt. Kort efter får Steven at vide, at hans forsvundne søn er på vej i krig. Han er 11 år. Steven tager af sted for at befri ham, men tingene går ikke som planlagt. Steven bliver fængslet, anklaget for rebelvirksomhed. Pludselig er repræsentanter for den ugandiske regering i København for at stoppe filmen. De hævder, at Steven er terrorist, og at Uganda er et frit land, uden børnesoldater.
