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
A Danish documentary follows a leading Islam scholar who moves to Cairo with his family as part of a government initiative to foster dialogue between Denmark and the Middle East. His work becomes more complicated when the controversy over the Prophet Muhammad cartoons erupts.

What happens
Det arabiske initiativ er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 2008, der er instrueret af Lotte Mik-Meyer. Som del af den danske regerings "Arabiske Initiativ" sendes en af Europas førende islamforskere, danskeren dr. phil Jakob Skovgaard-Petersen til Cairo med sin familie. Formålet er at skabe dialog mellem Danmark og Mellemøsten. Opgaven kompliceres af krisen omkring de danske tegninger af profeten, og behovet for dialog synes mere nødvendig end nogen sinde før.
