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 documentary follows poor fishermen and farmers living on low-lying islands in Bangladesh's delta. Their land is constantly being reshaped by rivers and the sea, and they face the question of whether to stay or move to more crowded areas on the mainland.

What happens

Lost Lands er en film instrueret af Jannie Møller, Betina Hansen. På øerne i Bangladesh' delta lever mange fattige fiskere og bønder på tilværelsens kant, bogstaveligt talt. Deres lave øer er skabt af flod og hav og bliver igen spist af flod og hav. Kan de i længden overleve her eller bliver de fortrængt til mere sikre områder på fastlandet, hvor befolkningen bor meget tæt? (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
