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 is about people on the island of Mayotte, a European territory in the Indian Ocean. It shows how migrants from nearby islands try to cross the sea to reach this French outpost. The film contrasts the free movement of goods with the restricted movement of people across arbitrary borders.

What happens
Kwassa Kwassa er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 2015 produceret af kunstgruppen Superflex. Der ligger et stykke Europa i det Indiske Ocean. Som et levn fra kolonitiden hører øen Mayotte under den franske stat, og fra naboøerne begiver folk sig ud på et skummende hav for nå Europas kyster lige nord for Madagaskar. Båden er blevet metafor for en verden, hvori mennesker, modsat varer, ikke kan cirkulere frit. Og hvor arbitrære linjer på et verdenskort kan afgøre menneskers skæbne. Kunstnergruppen SUPERFLEX sprøjter deres subversive og samtidskritiske kontrastvæske ind i det aktuelle flygtninge- og migrationsspørgsmål, hvorved en tvivlsom, politisk fantasi træder frem: forestillingen om Europa.
