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
Two Danish filmmakers go to Cairo in 2011 to make a documentary about street children. Instead, a revolution erupts around them. The film captures the uprising from alleys and homes, away from the main square, until they are captured and beaten by secret police and must smuggle their footage out of the country.

1/2 revolution er en dokumentarfilm fra 2011 instrueret af Omar Shargawi og Karim El Hakim efter eget manuskript.

Med kollega og fotograf Karim El Hakim ved sin side fanger Shargawi de barske realiteter ved revolutionen, ting der sker udenfor de internationale mediers synsfelt, væk fra Tahrir-pladsen, ude i sidegaderne, i baggårdene og i folks hjem.
