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 documentary looks at a series of decorative and often gaudy objects like cakes, candies, toys, and carnival items. It examines their excessive ornamentation and the appeal of their cheap beauty.

What happens
Candy er en dokumentarfilm instrueret af Per Arnoldi efter manuskript af Per Arnoldi. Per Arnoldi: Kager, bolcher, slikkepinde, legetøj, spilleautomater, papirhatte, masker, næser, artistkostumer, karruseller, fyrværkeri, kulørte lamper, vifter, serpentiner, pailetter, uniformer, kunstige blomster, spøg og skæmt, flag. En række ting med overflødig, ufunktionel ornamentik og stærk simili - og banal skønhed. Det er forrygende, at man fremstiller så pyntede ting, ovenikøbet maskinelt, og tillægger denne bestemte ornamentik appetitvækkende og købsfremmende egenskaber. Og skønhedsmæssigt kan netop denne banalitet accepteres så fuldt som noget andet. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
