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

A man deals with the fallout from a murder that can no longer be prosecuted because of the statute of limitations. The story unfolds almost entirely in real time as he confronts the consequences during a single night in Prague.

What happens

Nightline (Czech: Promlčeno literally Time-barred) is a 2022 Czech crime thriller film directed by Robert Sedláček. It stars Karel Roden. Inspired by real events - the motive is a time-barred murder - the film is set in the time of its creation. The screenplay was written by Robert Sedláček, who also directed it. Filming took place in 2020 mainly in Prague at night, and partly in the American Malibu. It is the first film in Czech cinematography that takes place almost in real time. It was presented to journalists on 26 April 2022; the premiere, originally planned for February 2021, took place on April 28 of the following year due to the closure of cinemas due to measures against the coronavirus epidemic.
