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.

How it feels

Three Syrian activists reunite in Paris nearly ten years after the Syrian revolution began. Syrian filmmaker Rami Farah confronts them with footage from the early uprising, footage they filmed or that changed their lives. The reunion prompts reflection on how a popular revolt turned into a devastating war.

What happens

Frihed, håb og andre synder er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 2021 instrueret af Rami Farah. Tre syriske aktivister - Yadan, Odai og Rani - genforenes på en teaterscene i Paris næsten 10 år efter, at den syriske revolution brød ud. Her konfronterer den syriske filminstruktør Rami Farah dem med optagelser fra opstandens tidlige år. Optagelser, som de enten selv har filmet, eller som har ændret deres liv. De tre venner mødtes som medlemmer af et mediekollektiv i Daraa, hvor revolutionen startede. I dag giver gensynet med optagelserne både dem og os en anledning til at reflektere over kompleksiteten i en folkelig opstand, der udviklede sig til en altødelæggende krig.
