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 village, teenagers like Mika watch action movies on a small TV while their elders worry about losing traditions. Mika's father Russell wants his son to keep the old ways. The film shows how they try to find a middle ground.

What happens
City House er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 2012 instrueret af Anders Skovbjerg Jepsen efter eget manuskript. 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 seeren 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)
