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

Bye Bye Beirut er en dokumentarfilm fra 2006 instrueret af Søren Marcussen efter eget manuskript. Beirut 1982 - en spøgelsesby, hvor krigen hærger og trænger ind alle vegne. Hvor angsten kommer og går, og hvor glæden kommer og går sammen med stanken af krudt, røg og skrald. Bilal Abdallah er født i krig og kaos i en flygtningelejr i Libanon i 1976. Han kom til Danmark som uledsaget flygtningebarn sammen med sin bror, da han var 10 år gammel. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
