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

Kabul drenge drager er en dansk oplysningsfilm fra 2007, der er instrueret af Maja Gildin Kragelund og Malte Conrad. I Afghanistans hovedstad, Kabul, bor den 12-årige dreng Ali Weera. Hver dag ser han, at himmelen over byen er fuld af drager, der flyver i vinden. Ali Weera vil også gerne selv have en drage og få den til at svæve højt og skuende ud over det ødelagte, krigshærgede landskab. Imellem kaos, kugler og kynisme er dragerne en drøm om æstetik, barndom og håb. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
