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
Three migrants from a poor rural area of Bolivia have moved to different cities for a better life. A man works illegally in Spain, his brother sews clothes in Argentina, and a young woman works as a housekeeper in Bolivia's capital. The film follows their separate but connected lives as they all long to return to their home village.

What happens
Migranterne er en dokumentarfilm fra 2009 instrueret af Niels Boel efter manuskript af Antonieta Medeiros. Tre migranter fra et fattigt sydamerikansk landdistrikt er udvandret til storbyen på jagt efter et bedre liv og oplever en globaliseret verdens barske realiteter. De lever i hver sit land, men deres skæbner krydses. De længes alle tre tilbage efter den hjemlige landsby i Bolivia. Florencio er ulovlig indvandrer i Spanien, hvor han arbejder i døgndrift. Hans bror Gregorio knokler som syerske i Argentina. Han vil spendere alle sine spareskillinger på at betale for den årlige fest i landsbyen hjemme i Bolivia. Den unge Sonia arbejder som hushjælp i Bolivias hovedstad. Hun drømmer om at undslippe monotonien i det husleje arbejde og uddanne sig til sygeplejerske for at vende tilbage til sin landsby og gøre gavn. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
