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

Open Court er en film instrueret af Frederik Hølge og Poul Madsen . Beskrivelse: Vi befinder os i Indiens vestligste delstat, Gujarat, hvor vi sidder som fluen på væggen i en åben veranda og overværer en retssag. Det er tydeligt, at der ikke er tale om en normal lukket retssal med ærværdige dommere. Hvad foregår der? Vi er vidne til en folkelig domstol, som arbejder ved siden af det etablerede system. Hvem og hvad er forklaringen på Open Court, den åbne ret? (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
