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 Soviet silent animated poster uses simple art to push collectivized farming. It shows a single peasant struggling to work alone and argues that joining a collective farm is the only correct path. The film ends with a direct question to the viewer about their role in the sowing campaign.
