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

A short documentary about a multi-generational Slovak family gathering to take a commemorative photograph in front of their unfinished house. The filming also shows the house being built quickly and joyfully.

What happens

Fotografovanie obyvateľov domu je debutový film režiséra Dušana Trančíka z roku 1968. Snímka získala Hlavnú cenu v kategórii hraných a experimentálnych filmov na Dňoch krátkeho filmu v Karlových Varoch roku 1969. Stretnutie niekoľkogeneračnej, priam typickej slovenskej rodiny pred rozostaveným rodinným domom je príležitosťou pre spoločnú spomienkovú fotografiu. Ďalšie fotografie a fotografovania dokumentujú, ako rýchlo a radostne sa dom stavia. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
