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.

What happens

Heksejagt er en dansk udviklingsbistandsfilm fra 2010 instrueret af Nikolai Tuborg Pedersen og Jonas Otto Mattsson. I det nordlige Ghana, tæt på grænsen til Burkina Faso, findes der en hekselandsby. Når en kvinde bliver anklaget for hekseri, har hun valget imellem at flygte til en hekselandsby eller blive slået ihjel af byens øvrige medlemmer. Filmen tager udgangspunkt i et interview med en heks, der fortæller hendes historie og rejse til den hekselandsby, hun nu er bosat i. I filmen møder seerne en heks der lever fredeligt i en hekselandsby, en ghanesisk lærer der er født og opvokset i byen Navrongo i det nordlige Ghana og en økonomistuderende fra hovedstaden Accra i det sydvestlige Ghana.
