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

Walk with Me er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 2017 instrueret af Anita Beikpour. I 'Walk With Me' rejser Anita Beikpour tilbage i tiden, til et Iran hun aldrig har kendt, til en revolution hun aldrig flygtede fra, for at forstå hvorfor hendes morfar begik selvmord, da han kom til Danmark. Et selvmord, som Anita aldrig fik et sprog for i sin familie. Ved at iklæde sig hans ansigt, prøver hun at komme tættere på sin morfar og familiens eksil. Sorgen bliver til et landskab, hun må rejse igennem sammen med filmens karakterer, for at kunne sige farvel til en person, der ikke eksisterer længere. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
