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
Set in Phnom Penh decades after the Khmer Rouge genocide, the documentary shows how a barrier of silence between parents and their children is beginning to soften. Older generations start to speak openly about the country's traumatic past.

What happens
Kampuchea er en dansk udviklingsbistandsfilm fra 2009 instrueret af Sofie Marie Kristensen og Mikael Svendsen. Filmen foregår i Phnom Penh godt tredive år efter Pol Pots rædselsregime og folkedrab. Dengang skete helt uhyrlige ting, som det siden har været svært at tale om. Der har været en barriere mellem forældregenerationen og de unge, men der er ved at ske en opblødning. Forældregenerationen er begyndt at åbne sig om landets dramatiske historie. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
