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

Bufferin (auch: Gerard Malanga Reads Poetry) ist ein Underground-Experimentalfilm von Andy Warhol. Er wurde Anfang 1966 in Warhols Studio The Factory im 16-mm-Format gedreht. Der farbige Tonfilm zeigt in einer Länge von 35 Minuten eine Dichterlesung von Warhols Assistent Gerard Malanga. Außerhalb des von der Kamera eingefangenen Blickfelds macht Rona Page (seine damalige Freundin) kritische Bemerkungen zu den Texten und lenkt ihn ab. Der Film ist filmgeschichtlich von Bedeutung, weil er erstmals die von Warhol erfundene Technik des Strobe cut einsetzt. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
