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

This is a lost Estonian silent film from 1931. It shows the suppression of peasant unrest and the crimes of punitive squads during the 1905 revolution in Estonia. The film is made of separate episodes linked only by the theme of those events.

What happens

"Öösel" on 1931. aastal valminud Eesti mängufilm. Film jutustab talurahvarahutuste mahasurumisest ja karistussalkade kuritegudest 1905. aasta revolutsiooni ajal Eestis. Tummfilm koosneb üksikepisoodidest, mida ühendab vaid 1905. aasta sündmuste teema. Lähemalt pole hävinud filmi sisust midagi teada. Film pole säilinud. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
