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
The film is set inside a Danish detention center for rejected asylum seekers. It follows three Iraqi families who have lived in Denmark for years but cannot stay or be sent back. They exist in a shadow world stripped of dignity and hope.

What happens
Og hjertet er sort er en dokumentarfilm fra 2006 instrueret af Maria Mac Dalland efter manuskript af Maria Mac Dalland. Dybt inde i skovene på Midtsjælland ligger Avnstrupcentret, et udsendelsescenter for afviste asylansøgere. Her opbevares de mennesker, som ikke kan sendes tilbage, hvor de kom fra, og som ikke kan få lov til at blive i Danmark. På centeret lever de en skyggetilværelse, frataget almindelig menneskelig værdighed. Filmen er optaget på værelserne hos tre irakiske familier, der har boet i Danmark mellem 4 og 7 år.
