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 Syrian-Danish doctor and activist risks her life to provide medical aid during the civil war in Syria. The film follows her commitment as she faces threats and separation from her family while refusing to look away from the suffering around her.

What happens
Vidne er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 2017 instrueret af Louise Leth. Haifaa Awad er læge, debattør og aktivist med syriske rødder. Hun kunne ikke længere være passivt vidne til, at kampen for frihed i Syrien havde udviklet sig til en menneskelig tragedie. Hun risikerede sit liv for at hjælpe som frivillig læge og er sidenhen blevet truet og nægtet adgang til sit barndomsland og sin familie. Haifaa vender ikke blikket bort, mens de civile bliver dræbt, og hun skelner ikke længere mellem hverdag og krig. Hun lever med krigen – selv i kærligheden – og ser det som sin medmenneskelige pligt at blive ved med at kæmpe, når man er vidne til krig. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
