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.

What happens

LBGT Uganda er en dansk dokumentarfilm instrueret af Ann-Sofie Grarup og Anna Josefine Jakobsen. I Uganda er det ulovligt at være i et forhold med en af samme køn. Bliver man opdaget, kan man risikere fængsel på livstid. Udover lovgivningen på området er der næsten fuld garanti for livslang diskrimination, hvis lokalsamfundet finder ud af at man er en LGBT+ person. Det er den virkelighed, vores hovedperson Alexa Human lever i. Filmen er et portræt af 25-årige Alexa, der er transmand og bor i det vestlige Uganda. Fordi han er transmand, har han mange ar på sjælen og er nødt til altid at tænke på sin egen sikkerhed. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
