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.

What happens

Nicht mehr fliehen ist ein halbdokumentarischer Experimentalfilm des Kinodebütanten Herbert Vesely aus dem Jahre 1955. Der 24-jährige Wiener versuchte sich hier, mit den Mitteln eines Cineasten der vor allem in den frühen Nachkriegsjahren populären Philosophie des Existenzialismus zu nähern.
