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 explores the relationship between real and virtual worlds in the Norwegian settlement of Longyearbyen on Svalbard. It follows a taxi company and its three drivers from different countries using their conversations to examine individual roles in preserving and creating the local community.

What happens
The Tour er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 2012 instrueret af Eva la Cour efter eget manuskript. The Tour undersøger forholdet mellem virkelige og virtuelle verdener i og omkring den norske bebyggelse Longyearbyen på Svalbard, ved at tage på rundtur med Maxi Taxi - et af byens to taxafirmaer - og dets ansatte. En verbal montage baseret på deltagersamtaler med tre taxachauffører fra Norge, Danmark og Rusland belyser individets rolle som en på en gang bevarende og skabende agent. Filmens struktur, en guidet tour, afspejler Longyearbyen som en særligt tilgængelig arktisk lokation med god infrastruktur, karakteriseret ved mobilitet og midlertidighed. Denne beskrivelse bygger på Det Danske Filminstituts Filmdatabase. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
