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

Two survivors of the Sarajevo siege, now in their late twenties, recall their teenage years during the Bosnian war. They share memories and feelings they rarely speak about, while the film cuts between their interviews and archival footage of the conflict.

What happens

Sarajevo Pacified er en dansk kortfilm fra 2007 instrueret af Andreas Bøggild Monies. Emira og Adis overlevede begge belejringen af ??Sarajevo under borgerkrigen i det tidligere Jugoslavien. Nu, mere end 10 år senere, fortæller Emira, 28 år og Adis, 26, om livet som teenager i en krigszone, og hvordan det har påvirket dem. Interviewene i filmen varierer med skud - til tider meget brutale - fra krigens barske virkelighed, både fra de officielle arkiver såvel som private optagelser fra mennesker, der boede i krigszonen. Med sit unikke sprog og stærke intensitet Sarajevo er Pacified en rejse gennem de to unges minder - minder de sjældent deler med andre. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
