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
This documentary examines the stereotypes and clichés that outsiders hold about Greenland and its people. It follows Greenlandic citizens as they navigate and confront these preconceptions in their daily lives. The film also looks at how these stereotypes are sold to tourists as souvenirs.

What happens
Lykkelænder er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 2018 instrueret af Lasse Lau. Fortællingen tager udgangspunkt i klichéen om grønlænderen, og som fortællingen skrider frem åbenbares portrættet i en lyrisk rejse gennem film og mediers fremstilling og det grønlandske sind og virkelighed, hvor en anderledes identitet toner frem. I filmen møder vi grønlandske borgere i scener og situationer, hvor de tackler fordommene og klichéerne om sig selv. Vidste du f.eks. at man sælger omverdenens stereotype forestillinger om grønlænderne, som souvenir til turisterne, når de kommer til Grønland? Eller at grønlænderne har deres eget nationalteater i en tidligere XL-Byg lagerhal, hvor alle de store klassikere spilles? (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
