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 lonely and frightened man murders a postman after forcing him to choose between letters and his life. The story then follows the consequences of the murder for the man and his equally fearful neighbors.

What happens
De forsvundne breve er en dansk kortfilm fra 1967 med instruktion og manuskript af Annelise Hovmand. Grundlaget for filmen er Villy Sørensens skræmmende nutidige fabel om menneskers kontaktbehov og forvrængede kontaktmuligheder resulterende i den grusomme historie om den ensomme, forskræmte bølles mord på postbudet efter at have stillet ham overfor valget: Brevene eller livet - og om de følger, mordet får for bøllen selv og hans ligeså forskræmte medmennesker.
