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

BUGS er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 2016 instrueret af Andreas Johnsen. I tre år har et hold fra Nordic Food Lab bestående af kokke og researchere Josh Evans, Ben Reade og Roberto Flore rejst verden rundt for at lære af de to milliarder mennesker, der allerede spiser insekter. I 'BUGS' følger Andreas Johnsen dem, når de undersøger, dyrker, tilbereder og smager insekter i blandt andet Australien, Mexico, Kenya og Japan. Holdets erfaringer i marken og i laboratoriet, på gårdbesøgene og de internationale konferencer fører til mange store spørgsmål. Hvis industrielt fremstillede insekter bliver normen, vil de så være ligeså appetitlige og gavnlige som dem fra bæredygtige økosystemer og køkkener rundt om i verden? Og hvem vil rent faktisk få glæde af at insekter bliver en integreret del af fødevareindustrien? Afspejler idéen om spiselige insekter vores ødelagte fødevaresystemer, eller er det netop løsningen?
