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
Two soldiers film their daily lives inside Mogadishu, Somalia. The footage shows combat, helping civilians caught in the crossfire, and long stretches of boredom. It offers a close-up view of war from the soldiers' perspective.

What happens
Mogadishu Soldier er en norsk dokumentarfilm fra 2017 instrueret af Torstein Grude. Midt inde i Somalias hovedstad Mogadishu, en by med to millioner indbyggere, ligger styrker fra den Afrikanske Union i brutal krig med de radikale islamister i Al-Shabaab. 'Mogadishu Soldier' er resultatet af de over 500 bånd, som to af soldaterne selv har filmet midt i den kaotiske krigszone, og giver et uset og nært billede af hvad krig (også) er, set indefra i en ekstremt farlig by, som næsten ingen medier rapporterer fra. Både når de er i kamp, når de forsøger at hjælpe de civilie i skudlinien, og når de bare keder sig og intet sker - hvilket er de øjeblikke, der oftest siger mest om krigens natur.
