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
The film follows young Zimbabweans during a historic election period in 2018, when many believed change was coming. It shows their everyday lives and the harsh disappointment when the vote is manipulated and protests are crushed.

What happens
Born Free er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 2021 instrueret af Anna Steen Hansen og Mathias Nyholm Schmidt. På poetisk vis skildres hverdagen for en række unge zimbabweanere i en afgørende tid, hvor Zimbabwe angiveligt skal afvikle sit første demokratiske valg den 31.07.18 efter afsættelsen af Robert Mugabe. For første gang i årtier er der en voksende tro på, at den undertrykte ungdom endelig vil få en bid af den frihed, deres forfædre kæmpede så hårdt for at opnå. Da Mugabes gamle parti endnu en gang manipulerer med resultatet, og militæret indsættes mod fredelige demonstranter, efterlades de unge imidlertid med intet andet end bristede drømme.
