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
The lesson of the ring er en film instrueret af Kasper Langaa og Mads Lund Christensen. Filmen begynder under monsunen, der vælter ned over Kolkata (tidligere Calcutta) og skaber oversvømmelse i gaderne. En brølende højttaler fra minareten minder os om, at vi befinder os i et muslimsk kvarter. Men hurtigt skifter scenen til en træningssal, hvor piger banker løs på sandsække for at styrke deres boksefærdigheder. Hvad skal det nu til for: indiske piger, der bokser? (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
