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

Parabolernes by er en dansk oplysningsfilm fra 2006, der er instrueret af Sune Blicher og Anne Ebbesen. Fra fugleperspektiv daler vi ned over Damaskus flade tage, som blot anes under en skov af parabolantenner. Her må være et kæmpeforbrug af satellit-tv. Alle har deres egen parabol, ja måske endda flere paraboler, for man skulle nødigt gå glip af æterens utallige fristende tilbud. Er folk anderledes indstillede i Syrien, eller betyder tv-kiggeriet noget andet og mere end i Danmark? Tag med filmholdet rundt i landets hovedstad og få svar. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
