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.

How it feels

This is a documentary series where ten Danish directors each follow a different Danish person of Arab heritage. The subjects include a soldier who serves in Afghanistan, a scout leader about to marry in Lebanon, an actor with a Polish mother and Palestinian father, and an Iraqi author haunted by the war. They share how they navigate daily life in Denmark while facing prejudice and maintaining their sense of home.

What happens

Mit Danmark er en dansk dokumentarserie i 10 afsnit fra 2006. Danmark blev en lille smule koldere, da tolv tegninger af profeten Muhammed satte sindene i brand. "Mit Danmark" er instrueret af ti danske filminstruktører. I filmen fortæller 10 danskere med arabiske rødder om deres Danmark. Vi møder den professionelle soldat Amjad Adnan Kanaan, der har meldt sig til tjeneste under dansk flag i Afghanistan. Nada Hawa, der er spejderleder, men som snart rejser til Libanon for at blive gift. Og vi møder skuespilleren Janus Bakrawi, der trods en polsk mor, en palæstinensisk far og utallige dumsmarte bemærkninger fra 'etniske danskere' er Københavner af hele sit hjerte. Alle kalder de Danmark for deres hjem, trods dårlig kaffe og skæve blikke. Forfatteren Muniam Alfaker fra Bagdad forfølges af Irakkrigens døde børn. De er nogle af de tusindvis af nydanskere, der forsøger at få hverdagen til at fungere i Danmark. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
