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 is a short film from 1968 that shows scenes from the same world as a later feature. It uses three projectors at the same time, and because the projectors can run at different speeds, the images shift out of sync. Each time the film is shown, the experience can be different.

What happens

For My Crushed Right Eye (つぶれかかった右眼のために, Tsuburekakatta migime no tame ni) (also known as For the Damaged Right Eye) is a 1968 Japanese short film by Toshio Matsumoto. It features some of the same milieu of Matsumoto's 1969 feature film Funeral Parade of Roses, presented through three projectors running simultaneously. Since projectors may run at slightly different speeds, the images can go "out of sync," and each projection of the film can be different. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
