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
This documentary follows Ala'A Mohsen as he returns to Iraq for the first time since fleeing with his family 14 years ago. He has tried to ignore his Iraqi background, but a plane ticket from his mother leads him to confront his past.

What happens
Barn af Irak er en dansk portrætfilm fra 2010 instrueret af Ala'A Mohsen. For 14 år siden flygtede Ala'A fra Irak til Danmark sammen med sine familie. Lige siden har Ala'A, i modsætning til resten af sin familie, forsøgt at ignorerer sin irakiske baggrund. Da Ala'As mor en dag lægger en flybillet tur/retur til Irak på skivebordet, vælger han at tage udfordringen op. Konfrontationen med en fortrængt fortid giver et medrivende indblik i Ala'As personlige rejse tilbage til et land, han for længe siden forlod for evigt. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
