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

Nattevagt er en dansk udviklingsbistandsfilm fra 2012 instrueret af Lea Hjort Mathiesen og Carl Olsson. Som solen går ned, er to mænd på vej på arbejde i et ambassadekvarter i Nairobi. Ligesom mange andre af deres naboer i slummen, har de fundet arbejde som vagter, i en by, der er kendt som én af verdens farligste. 12 timer som nattevagter har de foran sig, vogtende en diplomatfamilies sikkerhed. Da klokken slår 18, mødes de ved porten til det hvide hus: Abraham, den unge nattevagt og Hesbon, den ældre. Mens chikaderne kommer frem, gør de to mænd sig klar til endnu en nat uden søvn. - Og som natten falder på, kommer flere af livets store spørgsmål frem. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
