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

Disque 957 is een stille, experimentele film uit 1928 van de Franse feministische cineaste, journaliste, filmtheoretica en -critica Germaine Dulac (Amiens, november 1882 - Parijs, juli 1942). Deze visuele symfonie wordt beschouwd als 'pure cinema', waarin de voorvechtster van de Franse avant-garde zich afkeert van narratieve causaliteit en psychologisering. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
