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

Labirynt è un cortometraggio d'animazione del 1962 diretto da Jan Lenica. Il film, realizzato in découpage (misto di ritagli e illustrazioni), è tecnicamente semplice nella regia e nello stile di animazione, ma suggestivo dal punto di vista figurativo. Pervaso da un'atmosfera magica e metafisica, Labirynt si può considerare come un'esperienza onirica. È considerato uno dei capolavori dell'animazione d'autore. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
