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

In a Papua New Guinean tribe village, Mika and his father Russell navigate the clash between Hollywood films and local traditions. Mika wants to be a teenager and hang out with friends at the cinema, while Russell worries his son is abandoning their heritage. The documentary watches as they try to find a balance between the new and the traditional.

What happens

Mi go Long CD-haus er en film instrueret af Sofie Rørdam, Anders Skovbjerg Jepsen. Hver uge stråler Hollywood-filmene ud over træhytterne i den Papua Ny Guineanske stamme-landsby, Dikanel. De unge flokkes om den lille tv-skærm, hvor Van Damme og Rambo slås. I filmen møder vi Mika og hans far, Russel. Mika vil bare være teenager og hænge ud med sine venner i biografen. Men Russel er bekymret for sin søn, der lader traditionen i stikken. Kan Mika og Russel finde en balance mellem det nye og traditionen? (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
