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 Danish forensic pathologist normally examines dead bodies to determine cause of death. He is hired by a human rights organization to examine living Iraqi refugees for signs of torture. His findings could determine whether Denmark is charged with war crimes.

What happens

Et civiliseret land er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 2014 med instruktion og manuskript af Nanna Frank Møller. Jørgen Lange Thomsen er retsmediciner og derfor vant til at undersøge døde mennesker for at fastslå, hvordan de har endt livet. Det er en eksakt videnskab, hvor Jørgen gennem sine undersøgelser, ofte er i stand til at nå frem til konklusioner, der ofte kan afgøre en retssag. En dag bliver Jørgen "hyret" af en menneskerettighedsorganisation til en spektakulær sag, som stiller helt anderledes krav til ham og hans profession. Han skal undersøge en gruppe levende irakere, for at afgøre, om de har været udsat for tortur. Sagen kan få enorm politisk betydning, da Jørgens resultat bliver afgørende for, om der skal rejses en sag mod den danske stat for krigsforbrydelser under Irak-krigen. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
