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

Zeit Zeitoun er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 2017 instrueret af Mathias Dolmer Rasmussen og Jeppe Dall Gregersen. En gruppe kvindelige syriske flygtninge er ligesom 100.000 andre mennesker kommet til Cairo uden familie og arbejde. Ved at starte et cateringfirma der leverer traditionel syrisk mad, har de fundet en opskrift på at rejse sig fra krigens traumer. Vi følger kvinderne under ramadanen, hvor minderne om Syrien presser sig særligt på. Iman fortæller om det ubærlige savn, mens køkkenchefen Lina finder håbet og de gode minder frem gennem de syriske retter. Zeit Zeitoun er en fortælling om sorg og glæde - og om at rejse sig i fællesskab, når man har mistet alt. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
