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
The camera drifts through the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, showing ancient artifacts and tourists. Sounds from the street outside interrupt the quiet, mixing with the museum's silence. This wordless film reflects on history as something always changing.

What happens
The sound from the Hallway er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 2012 instrueret af Lasse Lau. Tiden finder sted i lange, svævende kamerabevægelser igennem det Egyptiske Museum i Cairo, hvor landets historie står til skue i vitriner og ad de lange gange. Mumier, sfinkser, og nysgerrige turister samlet i ét rum, hvor forestillingen om en samlet Historie udfordres af konkurrerende "historier", når kameraet nærmer sig et af de åbne vinduer og lyden fra gaden når ind som en insisterende rumlen af mange stemmer. Alain Resnais og Aleksandr Sokurov har stået åndeligt fadder til Lasse Laus ordløse refleksion over en politisk aktuel virkelighed, der bliver ved at forandre sig. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
