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 documentary about the chaos of Mumbai's traffic and city planning. It follows a resident fighting to keep a highway from destroying her neighborhood, a city official struggling to manage growth, and a man saving up for a cheap car that could make pollution even worse.

What happens
Mumbai disconnected er en film instrueret af Camilla Nielsson, Frederik Jacobi. Mumbai har kronisk myldretid. 550 nye biler kommer til hver dag. "Hvis ukontrolleret vækst er en sygdom, så har byen kræft," mener Veena, som gør alt, hvad hun kan for at vejnettet ikke kommer til at løbe hen over husene i hendes gamle indiske kvarter. Mr. Das, officiel leder af byens trafikale masterplan, har et utaknemmeligt job. Familiefaren Yasin har, efter års slid, råd til at købe den billige bil, Nano, til sig selv og sin familie. Nanoen, der spås at få trafikken og forureningen til at eksplodere. Serien »Cities on Speed« består af fire danske dokumentarfilm, som sætter fokus på det 21. århundredes megabyer. Filmene tegner et fascinerende og tankevækkende portræt af fremtidens byer, hvor udviklingen for længst har overhalet planlægningen. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
