The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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

A small Swiss team goes on a ski and climb expedition across northern Iran from the Turkish to the Afghan border. The Iranian government demands they avoid politics. The film shows the countryside under big snow-covered volcanoes and the symbolic political volcano.

What happens

Iran: Living with the Volcanoes is een Italiaans, Zwitserse documentaire van Mario Casella en Fulvio Mariani uit het jaar 2012. In het voorjaar van 2011 ondernam een klein Zwitsers team een ski- en klimexpeditie in het noorden van Iran van de Turkse tot de Afghaanse grens. De belangrijkste voorwaarde van de Iraanse overheid was: geen politiek. Het resultaat is een documentaire over het platteland van Iran in de schaduw van machtige sneeuwbedekte vulkanen en de symbolische politieke vulkaan. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
